The web service returns the full object model for, let's say, "Cars" - could be about 2000 of them (and I can't make the Web Service return anything less than 1 or ALL cars. The next time I open my application, I want to refresh the Core Data persisted copy by call...

How would I make something in cocoa, where the user would type in "open" (space) "www.google.com" and it would open up a page that was directed to google. If the user didn't type open as the first word it would give an error. Also www.google.com could be whatever the user wants it to be. I know it may seem complicated, but it's similar t...

Does anyone know how to do this? I'd like to simply have a plist like this <array> <object> <id>my unique id</id> <description>...
