[QUOTE="remain, post: 461377, member: 23182"] Cocoa is an application programming interface (API), as in certain apps are written in Cocoa. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocoa_%28API%29[/url] Most apps in Mac OS X are written in Cocoa, such as Safari, Mail, TextEdit, System Preferences, QuickTime, Preview, etc. Others are written in [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_%28API%29"]Carbon[/URL], which was made to port Classic Mac OS apps to Mac OS X, such as the Finder, iTunes, Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Office, etc. You can easily tell which are Cocoa apps by right-clicking in a text field. If you see Cut Copy Paste Spelling Font Speech Writing Direction it should be a Cocoa app. [/QUOTE]
