Uber progresses, one airport at a time -- How do Uber drivers pick up their passengers at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport? Very carefully, as the old gag says.  That's because it is still illegal for them to take on customers at Atlanta's airport - and many other U.S. airports - and they risk getting a ticket if they are too open about it. But the drivers and their passengers have developed ways of getting around the ride-sharing police at ATL and other airports, according to a report in the New York Times. Chris McGinnis/SF Gate

Etihad's formal legal response to the U.S. big three airlines: Don't bring that weak stuff in here! -- No harm. No foul. If you've ever played much pick-up basketball you understand that term, and its more aggressive cousin, "No blood. No foul." It sums up the terms by which the game will be played given the fact that there will be no referees. In short, if you drive to the bucket expect to get bumped or shoved - so don't be a weenie by calling a foul unless you get knocked down or hammered so hard that it leaves a bruise, a big red welt, dripping blood, or a broken bone.

Flying into the future -- The twinkling stars above the passengers gradually fade away as the night sky lightens and the sun begins to rise. It is an illusion, as it has long been daylight outside. But the projected image has a purpose: gently to awaken those on board and help their body clocks adjust to a new time zone. As the airliner begins its descent to New York, the ceiling and walls turn transparent to provide a panoramic view of the Manhattan skyline. The Economist
