Reverse-engineered implementation of -[NSString isEqual:] and -[NSString isEqualToString:]
/*
* Most NSString instances will actually be __NSCFString instances, so here are both NSString and __NSCFString implementations.
* If you know how to create an NSString instance whose class is actually NSString please let me know.
* Other possible concrete subclasses of NSString are: NSConstantString, __NSCFConstantString, NSPathStore2, NSSimpleCString and __NSLocalizedString.

How is git commit sha1 formed

Ok, I geeked out, and this is probably more information than you need. But it completely answers the question. Sorry. ☺

Locally, I'm at this commit:

$ git show
commit d6cd1e2bd19e03a81132a23b2025920577f84e37
Author: jnthn <jnthn@jnthn.net>
Date:   Sun Apr 15 16:35:03 2012 +0200

When I added FIRST/NEXT/LAST, it was idiomatic but not quite so fast. This makes it faster. Another little bit of masak++'s program.

How the get the 512x512 icon for any iPhone app.
How the get the 512x512 icon for an app.
Look for this app on the itunes.apple.com website (Google is your friend)
For example, this excellent app.
http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/bancomap/id309009025?mt=8
Look for the URL of the icon in the page (it's a 175x175 picture).
I use Safari, so right click on the icon and choose "Inspect Element"
