What advantage does NSUinteger have over uint32? I realize that on a 64 bit machine, it would be a uint64.

I think everyone is missing the point. The advantage is not "None".

Chris Parker already gave the first good advantage. The second is this: Use NSInteger/NSUInteger everywhere in your app. Recompile it for 64-bit and you instantly have a fully 64-bit version with very little work. That's a huge advantage.
