How many iPads did Apple sell? @Asymco: 7.3M

Av
As we will not hear anything from Apple until their financial report in mid April, there is a lot of estimating going on. Here is a list of them.

A post from http://tech.fortune.cnn.com by Philip Elmer-DeWitt has the whole story. Here is a part:

Dediu's number -- 7.3 million -- is, as usual, on the high end. But his estimates also tend to be pretty close to the mark.
Below: The numbers we've gathered so far. Unit sales are in millions.

Predicates in Core Data

Av
Database programming is all about filtering and sorting tables linked to each other. According to the book Core Data , «Core Data is Apple’s object graph management and persistency framework for iOS, OS X, watchOS, and tvOS.» In a sense, predicates are an object version of the WHERE clause in SQL. Just like NSFetchRequest represent the FROM clause in SQL. I never have had problems with WHERE and FROM in SQL, but the predicate format strings in Core Data has been quite a struggle for me. I don’t think the struggle is only my fault. Predicates should clearly be thought, at least to me, as a method of writing WHERE clauses.

Disable Google Personalization: One-Time (Browser Independent) Again, you may like the feature and the fact that Google tries to show you what you really want (your favorite sites or sites you are more likely to like on top), but in some cases you will want to see “real” results (for example, to check how your own website is doing). In this case, what you need to do is manually modify the search query URL path: just add this parameter: pws=0 The ‘pws=0′ parameter removes the search personalization: If you don’t want to add the parameter manually, use this browser bookmarklet (courtesy of  Google System Blog ): Turn off Google perso...

Since I also presented, I could only follow some: Yes Game : They have ingenuos  reduced the chess board from 8X8 to 5X6 by taking away all second officers. In that way they have create a Chess Attack, which can take you into the final stage of a chess party immediately. They have it for iPhone and very important, also as a physical board. uformia created software very well suited for 3D printing. The CEO Cherie Stamm was an American living in Norway.
