I have an idea for a new project that would require me to get the news feeds from many RSS news feeds. I am unable to find a free or affordable API that lets me do this. All I have found is NewsCred, which is significantly too expensive for me. It doesn't seem practical for me to manually input the feeds of 2000 different newspapers both from a time standpoint, and due to potential legal-related licensing issues.
What about Superfeedr? (I created it!). We provide an API that will do the fetching, parsing and and diffing of all the feeds you supply, in realtime.
The main difference with NewsCred is that you are the one picking your sources and supplying them to us. We accept any kind of RSS/Atom feed and already power services like IFTTT for example.

Working on building out a Web2Print product I need some kind of editor that will allow a user to manipulate graphics and ultimately generate a PDF. There are plenty of HTML 2 PDF APIs available but I was hoping someone might have experience with something a little more integrated and suited for dealing with graphics/fonts/text?
In PHP the best opensource option is TCPDF http://www.tcpdf.org/
I wanted to answer this and update everyone on the solutions that I found. Through the Magento extension store I was able to find several commercial (although still very reasonably priced) solutions:
http://www.zetaprints.com/ and http://layoutbuddy.com/ look like the most full featured and supported (as well as no up-front licensing.)
Thanks for all of the responses!

I'm looking for a free web-based TTS engine, that I may use in a commercial project. I'm not saying there's one, but I hope somebody might know if there was.
Thanks!
The only freely available web-based TTS engine that I am aware of is Google TTS. There is a blog post on how to use it. The problem with using it commercially is that it is not an official Google API (most solutions to use it have been hacked) and therefore subject to change without notice. For a commercial application I would pay for a good TTS engine. Another option is to get a freely available TTS engine and create your own SaaS.

I have to develop an commercial application with mapping.
I can't use Google Maps because of the 10k$/year for the premier API...
I tried Mapstraction with OpenStreetMap, nice but with some limitations.
There is no geocoding available apparently.
Is there a good free(or affordable) service available anywhere with mapping & geocoding functionnalities ?
Thanks
If this question is still valid, I think you should check Open Data Map APIs, in Open Web Services section. No limits, no signup tricks to get the API keys, everything free for real!
There is a pull in github for the feature : https://github.com/mapstraction/mxn/pull/98

I'm looking to get my hands on an API (hopefully one that's platform agnostic) that allows me to retrieve real time (or as close to it) equity prices / volume (hopefully).
I'm not a professional trader and can't afford anything really expensive (although I'm willing to pay a fair bit a month for such a service). I'm seeking to monitor about 500 equities (SP500) to start.
Does anybody have any suggestion? I don't want to use something like Google, because I would in effect be stealing a lot of bandwidth and could be blocked for abusing the service.
Google is a relatively shockingly developer friendly company. I have had some interactions with them about volumes of API use. You can hit them quite a bit without getting blacklisted.
One project that I am aware of being developed by Collaborative Software Initiative: FeedHandler: http://csinitiative.com/products/feedhandler/
I am not sure what the cost of the feed would be like. They would be able to track all of the stocks.

I read this book:
Head First Object-Oriented Analysis and Design
Now i am looking forward to find a Software that make it easy to collect all my Ideas etc (specific Software for OOA).
At the moment i am using my Whiteboard to collect/design Ideas etc. Afterwards i am taking pictures of it and add text to our Wiki/Trac.
At school, we're using Objecteering, which is easy to use, integrated to Eclipse, but not free.
IMO blank paper is a must, but not always the easier to share and to edit.
Install mediawiki (the stuff that powers wikipedia, don't settle for anything less you will need the full feature set eventually) and put all your ideas in there. This makes it easy to refine them and to improve then as time goes by.
