-	[* black] Before we get into the nitty gritty of things, let's ~~define~~ a gyroscope.
-	[* black] According to [link\|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscope\|Wikipedia's definition], "A gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, based on the principles of conservation of angular momentum."
-	[* black] A mechanical gyroscope - like the one shown on the left - uses a spinning rotor in the center ~~of the gyroscope~~ to detect changes in orientation.

+	[* black] According to [link\|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscope\|Wikipedia's definition], "A gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, based on the principles of conservation of angular momentum." The key phrase is ''measuring or maintaining orientation'', which is the exact purpose why an iPhone 4 contains one of these gizmos.
