You're using the %s formatter, which takes a pointer to char, but then  
passing it NSString objects. Either send the UTF8String message to the  
objects to get pointers to their characters encoded in UTF-8, or  
(preferable) use the %@ formatter to print the objects' description,  
which, in the case of a string, is simply the string itself.
