Pardon my ignorance...
... but if a DTMF tone is malformed/distorted then wouldn't/shouldn't it be treated as voice -- assuming the resulting distortion was in the voice range?

@Author wrote "...will be known as a Windows 8-style UI going forward."

"...users reporting an improvement ... when the One X is squeezed in a particular way."
Am I the only one that read that the dirty way?
Really?
"...and one of my lecturers in computing Trevor Wood Taylor tapped me on the shoulder and said, 'What are you doing going forward?"
GOING FORWARD? Really? He really said that? Back in 1980-something?
Funny bone

Dear Author... make your mind up
First it's 28,000 kph, then it's 28,000 km/hr. Try using km/h.

Nah, forget that crap - death by bulgarian airbags! If you're gonna do something, do it right.

For Fucks Sake
My old Casio watch from umpty-five years ago had a stopwatch / countdown timer function.
Maybe they can project the image from one of these relics onto a big wall in Trafalgar Square - it would be a whole lot cheaper to boot.
And to re-iterate my previous point from the title -- FOR FUCKS SAKE!!!

and -- What a bunch of incompetent fucktards!!!
and -- CUPID STUNTS!!!

Yeah right!
She was too busy dealing with direct debit payments bouncing and didn't think to phone or walk to her bank - " I don't have internet banking, so can't check my balance..", boo hoo -- pull the other one love - especially the middle leg!

I know a good place where they can stick their thumb... (hence the icon).
It weren't me guv'... it was my evil twin!
That old chestnut -- still being used successfully.
