   nope, they settled. further, no court can overrule the laws of physics   
   (although some have tried).

   how did it limit their control? what apple did wad intended so that the   
   user's device did *not* unexpectedly shut down, thereby making the   
   device *more* useful. further, sudden shutdowns risk data loss and   
   hardware damage in extreme cases.
