Hi, Can one of the Amazon services (their S3 data service, or otherwise) be used to offload server of static files for a Ruby on Rails app, but still support the app's authentication & authorization?

Long story short, I'm rewriting a piece of a system and am looking for a way to store some hit counters in AWS SimpleDB. For those of you not familiar with SimpleDB, the (main) problem with storing counters is that the cloud propagation delay is often over a second. Our application currently gets ~1,500 hits per second. Not all those hi...
So Amazon has lots of different APIs for different things, and it's hard to find the one I'm looking for. I have a client that sells things and checks Amazon's lowest price to know where to price their things (slightly under the lowest thing there).

While the RSS displays correctly with images aligned to the left, but when I try displaying the same RSS, the images do not align to the left, but to the top and this is not what I want. I need it to display exactly the same way as the one on top I have included the images here, my display is the second ...
I'm building a Rails web app and was wondering what is the best way to get a list of products that Amazon would return based on a search term? For example, if I sent amazon the term "iphone", I'd get a list of iphones back from Amazon. Does anyone know if there's a gem or library for Rails out there that would fit this need? ...

Assume that I want to listen to a non-common port (9090 for example) 24/7 and send data on another non-common port (8980 for example). Is that possible in an Amazon EC2 instance? (Windows 2003 or 2008) Note: I have done some search and I have found that if I want to do so; then I have to open ALL ports; which does seem wrong to me. ...
What are db backup options for (offline): 1 - Amazon EC2 2 - GAE (Google App Engine) Note: For example ESB (Amazon Elastic Block Store) provides differential snapshots which is great; and we can have backups in Amazon S3, which is great too. But I do not know if I can have latest version of my db, on my local machine. Thanks ...

(Thanks in advance for tolerating my seems-to-be-stupid question). I mean: Consider a VMWare Windows 2003 image. If I 1 - start this image and then 2 - run a program that writes something to a file and then 3 - stop the VMWare image and then 4 - start the VMWare image then still that file resides on hard disk of the VMWare image. Is...
DetailPageURL's returned by ItemSearch seem to include an incorrect ID/tag rather than the associate ID I requested the search with.

Is it possible to Google App Engine or Amazon EC2 to create a chatting tool that is (obviously) real-time? The motivation is avoiding setting up servers, and dealing with spikes in demand. Are there any open-source tools for this? With Amazon EC2 or others, is it possible to set up something that has push-notifications enabled (COMET...
not sure if this is a question better suited for serverfault but I've been messing with amazon RDS lately and was having trouble getting 'file' privileges to my web host mysql user. I'd assume that a simple: grant file on *.* to 'webuser@'%'; would work but it does not and I can't seem to do it with my 'root' user as well. What gives...
