I'm sure most of you heard of Microsoft Virtual Labs
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/ff640662
You can connect remotely to msdn servers and practice development on vs2010,sql server 2008 R2..etc
Is there something like that in mac world with xcode? I want to practice on development with iphone and take online labs,I don't have a mac for now.
P.S: I think there isn't such a thing in mac world but just wanted to try my luck,hopefully someone might prove me wrong,I searched online but didn't find such a thing.
You can give http://virtualmacosx.com a try. They provide a full online instance of Mac OS X with the Xcode Development Environment pre-installed. It could be a good option for someone looking to experiment with Xcode before taking the plunge on a Mac.
http://www.macincloud.com/ Looks like another option, but I'm not sure how good they are. The Web site is pretty informative though.
The best site I have ever experienced for virtual machines is
Virtual machine
Follow the link and you can see amazing OS in that links
TO try above you need to pay. But it is for free.
Virtual mac os online free

I'm new to cross-platform mobile development with Visual Studio, and I'm wondering if it's possible to make IOS apps without connecting VS to an active mac. Seems a bit weird to always have a mac at your disposal, up and running to be able to develop IOS apps. Or maybe that's just how it works. Problem is I don't have a mac.
Is there another way?
That is indeed how it works. You can thank Apple for that. They require iOS apps to be built on Apple hardware.
Many people will use mac providers such as Mac In The Cloud. If you Google services such as that you will find a long list of them.
There is also some hacks you can use to get a Mac running in VMware which have worked for me but that is not suggested as it violates terms of service for Apple and also probably for VMware.

I am confused regarding how to know what to do in order to utilize the OSX API to do whatever I want my app to do.
For example, I'd like to work with USB devices, where can I find info regarding that?
I have asked previously regarding just that, USB devices, but no one answered, and google search gives me air-thin results.
I don't know how to approach this.
Where can I find documentations or instructions or tutorials or whatever that helps me understand the OSX API implementation with Delphi?
I use Delphi XE7
The official reference for the OSX API is located in the Mac Developer Library, for usb devices you can check OSX USB Device Interface Guide.
Now the best place to learn how work with the OSX from Delphi is reading the RTL OSX code located in the Embarcadero\Studio\n.0\source\rtl\osx folder. Another great source of information is the TIndex site which is a huge collection of ordered and selected resources about Delphi programming, So you can try the OSX Section.

I'm looking for a shell where I can test shellscripts and a programs on a Mac.
What I'm looking for, is something like bshellz.net but with Apple computers (i.e. Macs). Is there such thing available?
I was googling for the last few days, but I couldn't find anything.
If you are developing a free software (open source) project, you might be able to request access to the GCC compile farm, which appears to include at least one Mac Mini.
If you're not developing free software, it might be harder to find people willing to donate their CPU and bandwidth to you for free, especially since Mac hardware tends to be a bit expensive and Mac OS X is difficult to virtualize unless you pay half a grand for Mac OS X Server. There seem to be a variety of places which offer colo or dedicated hosting for Mac Minis and XServes, but not a lot of people providing free or cheap shell accounts on shared servers.

The only full-fledged GPL Cocoa editor for GEDCOM 5.5 files (GenerationX) was last released in 2003: http://sourceforge.net/projects/generationx/
It looks unstable under Snow Leopard and would badly need a revamp.
Someone recently posted a proof-of-concept application (unrelated to GenerationX) on Google Code, but it looks like an unmaintained project:
http://code.google.com/p/cocoa-gedcom/
Is there any Cocoa developer interested in genealogy and willing to resurrect any of these projects? Or any other projects with a decent release cycle I am not aware of?
The Mac genealogy software market is dominated by pricy and feature-bloated proprietary solutions. A no-nonsense open source GEDCOM-compliant framework for Mac OS would be a blessing.
Did you check out GRAMPS? (Written in Python, using Gtk. So it doesn't look native on OSX, but works.)
There is MacPAF, but I'm not sure what the status of it is.
If you are still looking into Genealogy-Software, you might want to try the free program "Familienbande".
It's available for Mac and for Windows, free for personal use, supports GedCom and it is well maintained. I only use the German version (the developer is German) but since he has some native speaking US contributors, I assume the English version should also be usable.
The UI needs some getting used to, but for a free program, it is absolutely perfect.
Give it a try under:

I've just listened to episode 6 of StackOverflow podcast, and I just wonder, is there a free and good enough implementation of Mac Spaces for Windows?
try Dexpo
from their website
With Dexpot you may have separate virtual desktops for different applications. One desktop might feature applications for graphic design, for example, and another might feature your business applications.
Switch between virtual desktops in order to keep track of your open windows. Using Dexpot, you'll considerably increase your workflow.
Try the Microsoft Sysinternals Desktops, it offers 4 virtual desktops.
No there isn't, at least not for XP. It's hard because xp wasn't designed with that in mind, while Mac and Linux handle it beautifully.
The best one for XP that I have found is VirtualWin, which just works by hiding windows. It's hacky, but at least it gets the main idea down. I think if you've got an accelerated desktop like vista, VDM might be worth a look. But since I don't have vista, I can't be sure.
Microsoft has a Virtual Desktop Manager PowerToy. Not nearly as good as the ones on Linux & OSX, though.
Dexpot is the best i've found for options and functionality, however the free version comes with some trashware in the installer, if you just install the pro trial and then tear down the free version installer with 7zip and copy the program files in to the program directory - it works like a champ however - No trashware.
Try not to break your computer doing this.
