I am looking for a tool to create an app out of a website.
Basically I want to provide two files: .exe (win) and .app (mac), which both either look for an appropriate browser software on the clients system or use an included version of Firefox or Chrome to display a website without any GUI from the browser.
As far as I know, the service wunderlist did exactly that: create a responsive website and deliver it on almost every platform as an app by using such a thing. Sadly I was not able to learn more about their way of doing it.
Is there already a project for doing so, or do I have to start from scratch?
You can use WebKit to achieve your goal. There are apis in C++, C#, Python and so on...
It is a complete web browser engine. With WebKit you can open a website and display it in your application window.
Check out http://www.webkit.org/
Chrome is based on WebKit.

So, i came with a start up idea, but in order to make it happen, i need to make a web app communicate with any finger print usb scanner - those that you can buy anywere. It must take the scanned finger print and save it in the cloud data base.
It would be difficult,code wise?
I want to code it in Ruby on Rails
As RoR is server-side you would want to use some client-side language to interact with a clients usb, such as JavaScript. I know Chrome offer a feature to do this but am unsure if it will be available across multiple browsers.

I'm doing some statistical analysis about Google Play, comparing different languages. Every time I visit the site (http://play.google.com/store), it always opens in my language. I want to change the language displayed on the page, and also change the apps shown to a different country's market.
Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
Answer below the dotted line below is the original that's now outdated.
Here is the latest information ( Thank you #deadfish ):
add &hl=<language> like &hl=pl or &hl=en
example:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.example.xxx&hl=en or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.example.xxx&hl=pl
All available languages and abbreviations can be looked up here:

To change the actual local market:
Basically the market is determined automatically based on your IP. You can change some local country settings from your Gmail account settings but still IP of the country you're browsing from is more important. To go around it you'd have to Proxy-cheat. Check out some ways/sites:

To do it from an Android phone you'd need to find an app. I don't have my Droid anymore but give this a try:

I'm looking for a user interface language to create an application that can be easily ported to run as a cross-browser web application, desktop application, and Android application. Is there anything like that?
I think you're going to have a very hard time writing the same UIs for mobile and desktop; your best shot is probably a combination of Titanium Desktop and Mobile.
Personally, I would go for Flash. Really and too easy to port cross-browser and OSes and be supported by a vast majority of Android devices, especially tablets.
If you don't plan to port it to iOS (iPhone, iPad), you should be fine with Flash.
Maybe there will be different opinions out there....

Have you set the build action of the images to Content?
You also need to set the path correctly and ensure you've added the new image to GapSourceDictionary.xml.

I need to automate an IM client to update a status every few hours, basically log in, update status, log out. I'm trying to do this with windows scripting, but cannot seem to find the proper hook names to the application. Is there somewhere specific I can look to find this kind of information about an application, or am I merely going about this with the wrong tool in hand?
What IM client are you trying to automate?
Many popular IM services now have their own official API's that you can use to interface with their service programatically rather than having to 'hook' into a client. Third party libraries are also fairly widely available (Google around).
I used the AIM API to write a couple of fairly nifty utilities recently. AOL offers SDK's for several popular platforms including C, Java and C#.
