I remember having what I thought was a brilliant idea of the time of squatting iPhone domains a decade in advance - clearly there was no way I was getting in on the next, but maybe iphone6 wasn't taken... (this was when the current was four).
Anyway, at the time the lowest one available was iphone36.com. I didn't register it. It's taken now, no idea how high you'd have to go now.

Windows 10 will finally (but perhaps temporarily) undo this weirdness, and report itself as version 10, but only to some applications! http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/11/why-windows-10-isnt-version-6-any-more-and-why-it-will-probably-work/ http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/11/why-wi...
