Not without my iPhone

Av

Hi everyone. I was a regular feature-phone user until a year and a half ago. In that very moment, my boss, Morten Jacobsen, asked me to become an iPhone user. I was sort of upset at the beginning. I thought I was happy with my regular Nokia.
Now I know I wasn’t that happy. Yesterday my iPhone 3GS (my iPhone 4 is already ordered) I tried to fix the screen myself and I totally broke something inside the Apple device. You, up to now, I’ve been living without my iPhone and that has been tough. I couldn’t be “unconnected” for so long, so I borrowed a Nokia E7 from our iFacturas’ office. Nokia E7 is a new smartphone, but let me tell you that is far, far, far from an iPhone user experience!! Sorry for Nokia. This brand had always been my mobile brand. But, I’m suffering a whole lot with this Finnish device. It’s like going back to 1999!!! In fact, it’s being so difficult for me to deal with it, that I’ve borrowed an old iPhone 3G and I’m now transferring all my app to this old iPhone. Sure it will still be way better than a brand-new Nokia.
I thought I could live without Apple products, but I was wrong. During over a day I’ve been without iFacturas on my mobile, without Instagram, without Facebook and without WhatsApp!!! I thought the end of the world had arrived.
After having verly closely checked Windows Phone 7 OS, I was thinking about moving from Apple to Microsoft, but now…I can assure I’ll always remain and belong Apple!! I’ll get the iPhone 4, 5, 6, 7 and whatever number they get to produce.
Thank you, Steve for having created this thing. And…yes, dear readers, I’m addicted to my iPhone. You will sure understand how it feels to be without it if you are also an iPhone user and/or you will someday know, because sooner or later, you might get your own iPhone, and remember this post whenever you are enforced to live without it even for a day!!

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. Here is some notes from tutplus’ Core Data and Swift: Relationships and More Fetching : let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "%K == %@", "last", "Doe") The predicate format string uses %K (K stands for Key) for the property name and %@ for the value. let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "%K >= %i", ...

How To Disable Google’s Personalization Of Search Results

Do you want to know what the rest of the world gets as answer for their search, instead of what Google thinks you may want to see? I do, therefore the post from MakeUseOf.com by Ann Smarty did catch my interest. She explains it well, both for one-time use and how to change your firefox and chrome browser, and I just copy the one-time part: 2. 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...
