I would like to setup a web service, to be accessed via a mobile device. The main purpose of the server is data storage. I would like to know some of your opinions on the advantages\disadvantages between RoR and WCF for building the server-side of the web service.
I think you're looking at this the wrong way. What does the web service do?
The fact that it's a web service a mobile device talks to is itself not a big deal. Lots of stuff exists to do that. WCF is pretty good at it. I don't know anything about RoR but it probably is too.
So once the mobile device makes a request, what's going to happen on the server? Who is building it, and what languages/frameworks do they already know? What if any infrastructure is already in place?
If you can answer those questions, I think the answer to your question will become more apparent. :)

I have done to develop responsive website. Now, I want to test my website.
How do the best for test our website? For scope : cross-browser, cross-device, and other. I think its impossible to test one-by-one every browser or device, as far as you know the web browser are thousand and every operating system has different.
Please help to share any best method to me.
Thank you.
There is a tool where you can test your website for cross-browser issues.
http://www.browserstack.com/ will help you out in this. This will make you test your site in almost all kinds of browsers.
You need a testing service as provided by Browsershot : https://browshot.com/. You will be able to ask a screenshot of your website for many browsers / devices.
There is also http://browsershot.org but they don't seem to have service for mobile devices.

I want to develop a socket based chatting app in Titanium compatible with Android, iPhone and Blackberry.
Please give me suggestion about it
If you want a "socket based chatting app", then you've already made decisions about the implementation, and so you really just need to know the interface for implementing it. Try reading the fantastic manual, it is very detailed on how to use sockets.
http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/3.0/#!/api/Titanium.Network.Socket.TCP
You'll need to roll your own server side to accept the socket connections, and your own protocol for the communications. Or adhere to an existing protocol.
Or you can use the existing, working Ti.Cloud sample I created. It is the Titanium specific version of what Hini linked at nodeacs.cloud.appcelerator.com --
https://github.com/appcelerator-modules/ti.cloud/tree/master/commonjs/example/windows/chats
You can use Titanium along with Node ACS to create the application.
Here is a sample chat application tutorial. I hope it helps you.

I apologize in advance for this not being a specific programming question, but I believe this is the best place for such an inquiry.
Basically, I have an idea for what I believe to be an interesting social networking site (not just a clone of existing things, but something useful and unique); I have a detailed specification document describing how everything works, but I'm not sure how best to proceed from here. Architecturally, it seems like it would be most similar to something like Twitter, and I have some idea of what technologies are involved in this (SQL database, ajax, mobile integration, etc.). I do not have the time to code everything myself, and honestly some of it is likely beyond me. So, I suppose my pool of questions is something like this:
Assume I am non-programmer with a legitimately good idea for a new and large-scale social networking service, similar (in architecture) to Twitter, and some capital to make it happen:
How do I proceed?
What is the architecture behind a site like Twitter and what technologies does it use? How do I find people with experience building these types of systems for consulting/development purposes?
Are there any initiatives (government or otherwise) that can help me in such a start-up endeavor?
I appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks, and again I apologize for the broadness of this question.
The High Scalability blog ( http://highscalability.com/ ) periodically describes the architecture of major sites. Browse through archives there to get a feel for how they get built.

I want to make a web bot (desktop application not web application) which sends HTTP requests and POST data to different web pages.
What is the best solution to do such bot?
What language and IDE to use?
Witch libraries to install... etc.
Depends on what expirience you are having.
Basicaly sending HTTP-Requests with post data should be pretty easy in most modern languages.
Personally I would use C#/.net and Visual Studio. The .net-FW has everything built in to aquire that task (e.g. this example).
But if you are expireinced in PHP, Java or similar use that and just search for the suitable methods.

How does the Apache web server work? Can someone explain it in detail?
Start with the Apache architecture overview to understand the basic components and data flows for Apache. Then, you probably want to go into the developer documentation, as the list module configuration options in the docs is not too helpful in understanding how does everything work.
Finally, comparing Apache to other popular open-source servers such as Lighttpd would show you what tasks are approached in a similar way by different programs, and where there are trade-offs (speed vs. features, for example) that differentiate between the servers.
It's magic. Don't even bother trying understand it.
