    Guy Fawkes (the guy the V for Vendetta mask represents) tried to blow up UK parliament in the 1600s. The Brits have a nursery rhyme for it:

    Do you do something really special on your phone that requires the latest version, in which case your experience is not going to be relevant to most users... Or are you just wayyyyy overstating the actual impact it had on your life?
