Objective-C: what is private what is not?

Why are people using @interface ViewController : UIViewController { @private UIButton* button_; } @private declarations in public headers?

Determine local drive from MDItemRef

Hola. When I receive a list of MDItemRef items returned from a Spotlight query (in obj-c) I was wondering if there is an easy way to determine if they come from the OS install drive vs. an externally connected USB drive.

I'm experimenting with Obj-C blocks and trying to have a struct with two blocks in it where one block is to change what the other block does. this is a really roundabout way to do something simple... and there may be better ways to do it, but the point of the exercise is for me to understand blocks. here's the code , it doesn't work, s...
