	[* black] Before we get into the nitty gritty of things, let's understand what a gyroscope actually does.
	[* 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 reason an iPhone 4 contains one of these gizmos.
	[* black] A mechanical gyroscope - like the one shown on the left - uses a spinning rotor in the center to detect changes in orientation.
