i want to search for different hospitals near to my location and then show them on map. But the problem is i don't know how to search for hospitals near to my location. Any help about searching the location for hospital is appreciated.
You can query GeoNames' webservices: this example searches for hospitals near London.
Beware that GeoNames' results are not foolproof, and they don't offer any guarantee on data accuracy. Do not use it for emergency situations.
Try the Google Places API
you can use mapkit
MapKit Tutorial
You can also use the Google maps API to do a similar thing. Have a look at the documentation here;-
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/places/#PlaceSearches
You'll need to get an API key as well as accept the terms and conditions but as you are using MapKit, you are effectively doing this anyway. This is mentioned in Apple's documentation.
One other alternative would be to use Foursquare data as they too have an API and the data quality should be reasonably good. However, that will be another API, terms etc. to deal with and it might be more fiddly to filter your search to just hospitals.
Once you have some results and parse them, MapKit has a very straightforward API for adding the annotations to the map.

I was browsing through some applications for the iPhone with a store locator in them allowing users to find stores based on a zip code or current location.
I was wondering if there is any way to find an XML/JSON file which lists all the address for a particular store (Walmart, Target, etc...) which I could extract using the NSXML parser and then corelate the address to the MapView. Do I have to make use of Google Maps API?
You could take a look at the Foursquare Search API: https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/venues/search
Otherwise it might be worth making a manually defined list of stores that the user can chose from and manually adding an XML/JSON store list to your bundle.
Actually There Are so many API Available Today Like FourSquare Google Places Search API etc.
I think You should Use Google Places Search API for That.It Gives More detailed Data Comparatively To Others.They Have Great documentation for The Same.
Here you should go For The Google Places Search API.
Go For The FourSquare API.

I am developing an Application, which should give the available taxi or cabs at the current location in the city, here, what i have done is, i found the current location(address) using Reverse CLGeocoder. To get the available resources, whether i should make use of any api, or something else. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
There is no available API as far I know.. you can get in touch with cab providers in your location and ask them to provide feeds about their cabs. Then you can create a centralized server which will give you the response.
The idea is good but you will need some investors on your side and some expertise with server set up and a marketing guy who can rope in all these cab providers.

Could I use Google Maps API to create a Facebook Application? If so, what is the most efficient method to go about doing this? If not Google Maps, how about Bing Maps API or Openstreetmaps?
On a technical level you should be able to use the javascript API. You can read up on it at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial.html
However, check the API licensing carefully. If you intend to charge for your app, or depending on what you plan to track, you may have to purchase the business license which is $10k (no exceptions, whether profitable or not)
I did this long time back. I created an application which was embedded inside facebook and it used google maps API.
And I guess these things will always work because facebook and google provide service through set of APIs. And they are independent of each other

Can you auto take multiple pictures and then edit them in real time for an iphone app? Like say u want to make a video of a man and add a beard to him can you do it while streaming? the mustach moves according to where his face is detected and say take about 5-15 frames per second?
I guess you can.
It would involve tracking some facial features or markers added for the purpose at the least. However this is such a vast and complex field, you'll hardly get a single advice here that will get you going.
If you really mean it, I'd suggest looking for Augmented Reality libraries, there's a few out there. Most of them work by tracking a special pattern and not arbitrary features though, so be prepared for a big load of work.
Check this SO question for a first few hints, you'll find more information on the topic easily through the search engine of your choice.

I'm trying to figure out what are the cases where FQL has features which the Graph API doesn't.
I tried to find the answer in the docs, but as many others have pointed out, they aren't the clearest or the most complete. To make things more difficult, a lot of the blogs commenting on the Developer platform are now dated too.
So, what can FQL do that the Graph API can't?
FQL has a WHERE clause, which graph API doesn't have any equivalent of. I'm talking of something more sophisticated than just getting object connections (like user's friends). Examples: get user's friends who are also app users and online in chat, get all events which start tomorrow and not created by myself, etc, etc.
Besides that FQL is more like an extension to the graph API rather than something independent and is used to make queries on graph objects.
