Comment on 200 Million iPads by Dan

Apple just released their quarterly results for July to September. They sold 11.2 million iPads.

We now have two data points. If we average the year-over-year growth rate, my new estimate is 183 million by December 2012. That’s not too far from the original 192 million. I’ll wait another quarter before adjusting my claim.

Comment on Family Pictures Fall 2009 by Matt

Hi Dan,

Those are great pictures. With just a little more photoshop (or Gimp if you are me) tweaking you could warm up the colors quite a bit which would make the prints just a touch nicer. You probably already know how to do it, but on the off chance that you’d like help, I’d be happy to help. Let me know.

I had specifically turned compression off in case that was the problem. It looks like it isn’t, so I just turned it back on (using gzip).

I’m not sure why a cookie would be causing an issue, but I’ll turn on debug mode to see if I can figure it out. Thanks for helping.

I just noticed that you have a rejected cookie which means that cache files are not going to be built (for post pages, the home page seems fine), which is exactly why your previous test (without enhanced mode) didn’t show a 50x-100x improvement over stock WordPress as it should have.

Anyway, either a plugin is adding some cookies and breaking caching or you’ve specified that some cookies be rejected, which makes caching impossible.

You can turn on debug mode in general settings so that more details about the caches you have enabled will appear in the front end HTML source. It also doesn’t appear that at least gzip compression is used – you’ll want to enable that.

Alright, I’ve got W3 Total Cache going again with disk enhanced mode. I’ll update the article again in a few days.
