I'm developing a web application that involves businesses signing up. What is the best way to verify a businesses identity? How do I know the person signing up for "Pizza Hut" really works for Pizza Hut? Are there web services I can utilize?
I know it seems far-fetched, but there are identify verification services that can identify a person's identity. I've seen them in action and the info they had on me was downright scary. They knew where I had worked, where I went to school (even the one semester psychology class I took just for fun.)
These services work because they purchase public records. For example, I took out a loan for an automobile at a bank, and had to list my employer. That's how they know who I worked for from 1987-1994.
I would bet that these services could help you.
Here's one. (I'm in no way affiliated with them. We just had them demo their product to us.) http://www.idology.com/
Here is another: http://www.veratad.com/fraud_prevention.html
We eventually went with services provided by Trans-Union (The credit reporting agency) in their IDMA and IDMV products. (I can't find the links right now - my PC is acting up, but you should be able to find them on the Trans-Union site.)
These services are not cheap, by the way.

Can an application call Glass to take pictures? I only see "Sharing" when a user takes a picture and wants to share it manually; is there a way applications can call Glass camera and take a picture?
Case:
Say, a user says they want a timeline of his daily activities, so they set an interval of time: "30 minutes"; the application would then call Glass camera every 30m, take a picture and store it for a timeline.
There is no direct control of the hardware through the Mirror API. Feel free to file a feature request in our issue tracker.

I want to build a simple app where i have different users and they make updates and all the users get the updates in real time much like facebook.
Edit:
I just want to know how to push updates to profiles of users without them reloading the page. Do i make repeated AJAX calls or is there something out there that can solve this problem for me.
Edit 2:
Here's a presentation which helped me http://www.slideshare.net/oellegaard/implementing-real-time-web-applications-with-django
for real-time like interaction, one idea is to use sockets.
What I would do is write my front facing site in python/django, and have a node.js layer behind that w/ socket.io (websockets) that handles keeping all of the clients in sync.

[Django] [node.js]
app logic -> \ / <- async updates

but really this is a fairly uninformed answer based heavily on assumptions b/c you haven't told us anything concrete about what your site needs to do.
You need to know how to Program, you need to know Python, and the Django Framework, you will need to know HTML, JavaScript, and CSS, you will need to know some Database of your choice, you will need to know enough to make educated decisions about MVC frameworks on the Client Side, you will need to know about Queues, Stacks, Asynchronous Callbacks, HTTP methods, Encryption and other Security Practices, the list goes on.
Basically, you need to know more then someone who would ask the question you asked.

Is there a place where I can view the list of standard locality/ sub-locality of Singapore?
I'm working on a web app that tag places to small regions in Singapore e.g. Downtown, Sentosa island. Singapore is a small country but it's a big city. This was already done by another developer whom I cannot contact now (perhaps the small regions were created manually and it's not possible at all using Google Maps API?)
I borrow some code from here but no sub-locality is shown so I wonder what's wrong. Perhaps, there is no sub-locality at all for Singapore, under Google Maps' view.
The Geonames geographical database is available for download free of charge under a creative commons attribution license. The SN.zip file has the data for Singapore.

I was wondering if you could help me - with PHP, I would like to have a system where after going through a like-gate, the customer uploads a file (I'm fine with doing this) and once they have done that the application will write a post on the users wall to tell them.
As a second stage to this, when in the admin tool for the app, the administrator puts a comment against the image that person has uploaded, we'd like the comment to go onto the customers wall - and this might be a week after.
Any help gratefully appreciated :)
You will want to use the Graph API http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/
You will need permissions from the user: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/permissions/ Specifically publish_stream.
Posting to someone's wall is easy. From me/posts HTTP Post the correct parameters. See the post section of http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/
You can try it out here: http://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer

I have a device that is connected to the internet. The objective is to be able to locate the latitude and longitude of the device from the internet.
So I need to implement a code in C++ that would use the internet to find out the latitude and longitude. The device does not have a GPS. So just through an internet connection how do I go about to find the location of the device.
I tried to look for answers but most of them relate to an iphone. Thanks in advance.
The best you can do without access to some sort of location based service (some use GPS, but some e.g. triangulate known WiFi hotspots) is to geolocate the IP address. Typically that will get you within 20-30 miles, but in some cases you can be very far off (e.g. if the IP is a proxy server far removed from the actual user, as is the case for example with all AOL customers).
There are a number of services available for geolocating an IP address. MaxMind is one I have used before.
