Today is Day 22 of Gizmodo’s Greatest Apps of All Time Challenge, and we’ve reached the final round of Sweet 16. In yesterday’s competition, Google Earth defeated HQ Trivia with over 87% of the vote. Be eliminated. RIP HQ Trivia. Today, the most controversial nominee will face off against one of the least controversial candidates.
If you’re just tuning in, you can read all of our selection criteria for this historic match Right here. See the full list of contestants embedded below. As always, if you think we’ve missed your personal favorite app, give us a shout in the comments. Now, let’s get into today’s contestants.
Here’s how we rated Uber in the first round:
Uber was a pioneer in at least two ways. It taught Silicon Valley that you could flout regulations as long as you integrated into society quickly enough. As long as you make a big enough commitment, it becomes a model for years of burning investors’ money. The company, founded in 2009, posted its first annual profit last year. It has spent more than a decade luring investors and the public with promises of self-driving cars and private helicopters. It successfully achieved this milestone by abandoning everything that made Uber a futuristic technology company and instead focusing on becoming the highly regarded taxi service it has always been.
Despite countless articles, best-selling books, and popular TV miniseries documenting all of Uber’s bad behavior, people still seem to love it. Or they at least tolerate it because it’s convenient. I’m sure there are edge cases where it fills a gap in rural areas or improves the lives of people with disabilities. So if you want to vote for Uber, we’re helping you make it happen.
Here are our articles about calculators:
Calculator app. Not a specific calculator, just any calculator on your phone. We all have one. Calculators have even appeared on smartphones, but the advent of smartphones has absolutely eliminated the need for most people to have dedicated digital processing devices.
So, reader, what will it be? Do you want to put Uber on the fast track to a big championship, or do Calculator just get a spot out of simple respect?
