Something for the Weekend, Sir? There is supposed to be an old Afghan proverb that goes: "When God wants to punish a nation, he makes them invade Afghanistan."

A lesser-known variant of this epigram states: "When God wants to punish a business in the transport industry, he makes them unveil a flying taxi." And thus it came to pass at CES this week that the Lord of Hosts' wrath was directed at Uber.
