I refer to my iPhone as a phone far more than I call it 'iPhone', but you're right, owners probably do. But what's the difference between that and someone saying that they own a 'PS3' or a 'Wii', instead of a 'console'?

Wow, one of my parents' friends had one of these. I remember marvelling at how I could draw stuff in Paint.exe out in the garden and have it print out.

As someone who does a bit of rotoscoping and adding in objects to video projects, I can tell you that it's a whole lot harder to add in these things with hand-held footage. Most animators like to show that they're able to do this kind of more-complicated animation when looking for work, so I guess it's partly not…

+1 on this. I had to wait for a medal to disappear before I could answer the first question.

Probably an enemy of the EVE goons.

Oh gosh, using this with a touch interface looks finicky as hell. I hope they tweak it to bits before launching it. I also find it amusing that it takes you out of Metro to the standard windows desktop and then back into a metro-esque interface. Also something I expect them to fix, or rather, something they should fix.

This is the dumbest and most amusing post I've read in a while.

Hey neat, a decent sonic game. FINALLY.

That g+ Events app/widget/whatever looks a lot like Path for iOS.

Douchebag alert.

A well written and thought-out rant. Props.

I was quite enjoying it until the camera moved.

I guess so, but I think those app developers would be shooting themselves in the foot if they did do something like that. I don't use a lot of ad-supported apps (I'd rather pay the small amount to either ditch them, or I buy a non-free equivalent) but I would probably immediately close and delete an app if there were…

This is all such bollocks, linkbait or not. 90% of apps will require next to no change from iOS5 due to the varying size of the status bar called for with the in-call blue bar or the recording red bar. Games can either be centred or developers can be encouraged to make it variable in width/height very easily.

These gifs seem to mostly be tumblr crap. Where's dancing baby? Where are the under construction animations, and the flames and hazard lights? I am disappoint.

Oh wow, I did not pick up on that the first time. And now it's even more awesome.

Oh wow, there goes my tomorrow afternoon.

I gotta go with this as well. Poking around with one of the most valuable organs in the body in place of just closing your eyes sounds like idiocy.
