If it ain't broke, don't rebrand it. Maybe Uber had some super-secret data that said people hated its logo, and were confused because the big U could stand for an app that delivers Underwear. Even so, this seems an odd choice.

That says absolutely nothing. On the other hand, there's animation when you open the app! No more throwing your phone on the ground because you wanted to order a car but THERE WASN'T ANY ANIMATION FIRST. Wired has the whole story here, and I mean "whole story." It's interminable.

GADGETS Coffee-pod sales are down. WaPo:

Possible reasons: like tablets, people like the one they have and there's no reason to replace it, because it isn't broken. The article notes that people hated Keurig's 2.0 machines, which forbade second-party pods. (They changed their mind last May.)

The article cites the recession as the reason pod sales had been up, and says our "fatter wallets" are the reason sales are down now. Did anyone ever think "I feel less economically secure than before. I'll buy this $12 box of single-serv coffee pods"?

WORKIf you ever did a stint as a pearl diver you know it's hot, damp, disgusting work. It's one thing to look at all those plates of mangled food; it's another thing to touch them. Even oven mitts would feel too thin. Well, now an IKEA dishwasher has come forward to blow the lid off working conditions. The article's title: Being a Dishwasher at IKEA Is Everyone's Worst Nightmare. Vice:

The horror. It gets worse.

Two days a week in which one earned a week's wage but had to deal with dead fun. However did they compensate? "One thing we did to escape the endless boredom was smoking weed." Oh.

Reminder: "Being a Dishwasher at IKEA Is Everyone's Worst Nightmare."

WEB Warning: We're running out of useless "viral content" site names.

VotD Not every country's building codes requires handrails, it seems.
