Completely agree, Blackadder is *by far* his best work as a comedian, and he talks his elbows off. But then I reread the subtitling and it says "worldwide", and that's also true. Mr. Bean (unfunny to me) achieved worldwide status, but not Blackadder...

uber and lyft are not "ride sharing" businesses. they are simply a different revenue model than the traditional cabbie. the difference being that lyft and uber drivers don't require a special permit nor do they pay an extra fee for their business activity.

This is a mess. There is no "British Accent" is known as "Received Pronunciation", or "The Queen's English". And yes, it is basically the result of the Aristocrats trying to sound like their Kings/Queens. It's that posh accent people who went to posh schools acquired by hobnobbing with the royal spawn. Normal people in the British Isles don't talk like that.
Now. FUCK NO. Americans don't have any accent from the British Isles. None of the spoken dialects, germanic or gaelic. Not even Bostonians.

The problem with all this is that Apple is claiming something that may be very easy do disprove and might be digging a deeper hole for itself.
It all boils down to this: the suit has to prove that Apple is doing this with full knowledge and intent. Basically, "power management" is fine. It tweaks performance so that the phone is less demanding on old batteries (albeit, we should get the option to reduce performance). However, they claim it only acts when the battery is old (an as-of-yet undefined number of charge cycles).
So, theoretically, if someone were to replace the old battery with a new one (which ironically voids your warranty), the software tweak should not activate and performance should be in line with what iPhone reviewers published during their launch reviews. Anyone can try to disprove this and if Apple claims one thing and it is proven they are lying, then it's a fairly open-and-shut case. It'll take certified labs and experts to prove it in court, though.

It doesn't say whether the alternative is any better... Most likely they'll be shooting them or gassing them with tear gas...
