AFAIK MacRuby already works in this way, using the existing (Obj-C) Cocoa frameworks in conjunction with the MacRuby runtime.

Appcelerator Titanium is another option in this category, and is focused on building applications using JS/web standards.

For me, cmd+space (Spotlight) has been quite sufficient, and it's right there out of the box.

At this stage I really don't see Nokia going down the Android path, given their commitment to Windows Phone 7.

This seems very cheap, I wonder if that means the other pieces of Final Cut Studio will be sold separately on the App Store? EDIT: Also I wonder if being cheap means that some 'pros' will take it less seriously, or worry that it won't be su

I'm glad Apple is continuing to work hard on their software offerings, given that they have slightly less incentive to do so than a company such as Adobe. I'm just hoping to see the same kind of love for Logic Studio sometime soon, a lot of

I'm interested to see how the international pricing will look for this. Here in Australia the CS5 Master Collection costs $4,344.00 compared to $2,599.00 in the US. Given that the AUD is now worth more than the USD it's rather a slap in the

I really resent this. I don't know about you guys but I don't think of myself as a 'geek' or a 'nerd'. Having a high level of domain specific knowledge doesn't mean you need a label, it just means that you are good at what you do. I am a cr

Is binarray2000 someone's alt account? Because they are quite old, haven't been active for several months, and now have 3 items at the top of the homepage. Just curious.

Firstly this is just a terrible article as from the heading "Digital Compression" onwards it deals with an entirely unrelated topic to the "Loudness Wars" meme mentioned in the title; this is confusing to readers. More on this section later

Did you read the article? There is a section entitled "Digital Compression" which actually seems to be just describing the nature of digital representation of sound, and what happens when you reduce the resolution of that representation ie.

I'm not complaining it's inappropriate, certainly it's on topic, just highly misinformative. Honestly I thought people had gotten over ignorantly repeating the "Loudness Wars" meme by now.

I have fantastical thoughts of some kind of surface that can alter its shape to provide the tactile feedback that touchscreens are lacking... though these thoughts will likely remain in the domain of science fiction.

I think this should have been re-imagining of the C64 as a first computer for a new generation of hackers. I'm thinking of a high-level, empowering, introductory programming environment in the vein of Hackety Hack or Love2D (because lets be

I had this problem with the cable going into the Magsafe connector on my last Macbook, still functional but concerningly wires were visible. On the charger of my newer MBP (2009) the cable-plug join is notably bigger/thicker and hasn't giv

I don't consider the 3.3.1 situation to be relevant, as in this case you would be running the official Apple toolchain. If you had brought up the section of the iOS Developer License Agreement relating to "non-Apple-branded hardware" you mi

Useless and irrelevant comments such as this one, along with it's many replies, contribute to signal-to-noise degradation of the discussion section of many popular HN posts. Maybe collapsible comment threads would help to mitigate this.
