When we talk about diversity, we mean that in all contexts, spanning from the range of tweaks available on the Cydia store, all the way to the cultural and age diversity of the developers who submit them.

For anyone who regularly opens up Cydia and refreshes the repositories to see the most recent additions and available updates, it won’t come as a surprise that each day seems to bring a new Siri-based tweak or enhancement. When the iPhone 4S was launched, Siri was one of the driving forces behind said device, making it such a consumer success and helped Apple to announce record first day sales, as well as posting record breaking financials for the final quarter of 2011.
What kind of world would we live in without gravity? A phenomenon defined as a force by Sir Isaac Newton, something which attracts all objects to other objects, with Albert Einstein chipping in with his theory that gravity is the result of the curvature of space-time. These two theories are the most widely accepted, and although we may never get a fully complete explanation of what gravity actually is, we all know it's a pretty awesome phenomenon nonetheless.
