live tiles use whatever your system color is so if your system color is pink then it would be pink. mines blue. but the live tiles have photos from the articles

there's a couple things that point to apple's new display tech being 3D

first, it was rumoured some time ago that the 6S would be 3D. further back, apple has been adding 3D features to their interfaces, like parallax in iOS 7 and the app switcher in iOS 9. when announcing iOS 7 they touted the 3D nature of the UI rendering.

digg has both a curated news section (it's good) and an RSS reader section. you could even import your Google Reader subscriptions at one point, but they may have ended that due to google not retaining them anymore.

digg now has a "digg dialogs" thing which is basically ad-hoc chat session that fires up about certain stories. you can talk to the authors of popular new articles, for example. they also embedded a stream of the CNN republican debates within the chat so you could watch and chat. they also moderate all messages on the fly to keep it not lovely.

surprisingly good poo poo. yeah, digg hosed up before. but in freakenomics fashion the perceived value of the digg brand (lol) has meant constant investment and innovation into it. it's like this weird oasis of the internet that everyone has written off.

also, it is well-known that both tim cook and jonny ive occupy at least three spatial dimensions. it would be natural for these 3D beings to create a phone which faithfully represents their dimensional experiences
