Service-disabled veteran-owned program ripe for abuse -- Washington Technology
In the past few years, the government contracting industry has weathered its share of scandals.
From accusations of questionable behavior by contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan to front-page exposés of cozy relationships between contractors and customers, the industry's reputation has suffered.
Most recently, the industry has drawn fire over allegations that at least one large business was using small businesses as fronts to funnel money to itself. (See our recent coverage of GTSI Corp.'s suspension and reinstatement by the Small Business Administration.)
Another scandal is brewing because of the proliferation of small companies owned by service-disabled veterans and procurements geared specifically for these businesses.

WhatTheFont for iPhone Identifies Fonts on the Go [Downloads]
iOS: The popular font-identifying web site WhatTheFont (our look) now has an iOS app, letting you quickly identify fonts you see outside of your computer screen.
As far as web tools that ought to have mobile apps go, WhatTheFont really leads the pack. The iPhone's (or iPod touch's) camera really makes a great companion. If you're ever walking around and see a font you really like, you can snap a picture with the WhatTheFont app and upload it directly from your phone. Just like on the web site, it'll work with you to identify the individual characters and then make font suggestions. While WhatTheFont isn't always perfect, when you get a clear picture it can get pretty close. It's just one of those things that can be extremely handy to have in your pocket if you're always on the lookout for great new ...

The General Services Administration awarded 11 vendors spots on the first governmentwide contract for cloud computing-
GSA announced Tuesday a blanket purchase agreement for infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), including cloud storage, virtual machines and Web hosting. All of these services eventually will be available through the Apps.gov portal.
"Offering IaaS on Apps.gov makes sense for the federal government and for the American people," said Vivek Kundra, federal chief information officer, in a release.

The winning vendors are:
- Apptis Inc. partnered with Amazon Web Services
- AT&T
- Autonomic Resources partnered with Carpathia, Enomaly and Dell

Angry Birds developer claims Microsoft jumped the gun, Rovio 'not committed' to Windows Phone 7
Software developers make or break a platform, as Microsoft's Steve Ballmer once famously stressed, but that shiny new Windows Phone 7 site has angered a mildly important one of them. Rovio Mobile, developer of the wildly popular Angry Birds game, tweets that it's presently 'not committed' to bring the game to Windows Phone, and that the above icon is being used in Microsoft marketing completely without permission. While it's possible this is just some sort of mix-up and Rovio just wanted to make its own announcement ("nothing to do with if we do or don't, it's just that we decide that ourselves," the company added in a later tweet), it wouldn't be the first time Microsoft's engaged in shady business to inflate its new app ...

North Korea Opens .kp Sites On the Internet
eldavojohn writes "What an auspicious day for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea! To commemorate the 65th anniversary of the founding of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea, North Korea will no longer depend on Chinese national internet service to reach the outside world — they have their own connection and are hosting sites like the state run media. The article mentions that about a thousand websites are coming online, including services like Skype and Twitter. From where I sit in the United States, I can't seem to get any .kp TLD sites to resolve, but the news is promising if in fact it will bring more information to the information-starved masses of North ...

UGLY - Tea party linking up with Koran-burning British far right: report
'It seems now that America and Europe are acting as one, and united we can never fail'
The tea party movement is forging links with the English Defence League, a nascent anti-Islamic movement in Great Britain that has made a habit of rioting in Muslim neighborhoods, says a report at the Observer.
The news comes a day after the EDL clashed with anti-fascist protesters in the city of Leicester, which has a large Muslim population. Eight people were arrested in those clashes. It is part of a pattern of behavior for the EDL, which has in the past burned Korans and carried signs declaring "We hate Muslims."
The Observer reports that the EDL has forged an alliance with Pamela Geller, one of the leaders of the movement to stop the so-called "Ground Zero mosque."
The Observer quotes Geller's blog as declaring, "I share the EDL's goals … We need to encourage rational, reasonable groups that oppose the Islamization of the west."

CineXPlayer adds iPhone and iPod touch to its Xvid party list, still won't cook your popcorn
Remember how NXP Software surprised the world with its CineXPlayer iPad app just two months ago? Well, the gang is back to give our iPhone (3GS and 4) and iPod touch (3rd and 4th gen) the same dose of Xvid goodness. Like its older sibling, this $1.99 CineXPlayer utilizes the same method for easily sideloading your AVI files via iTunes (under the iDevice's Apps tab), and you'll also find a familiar-looking interface topped with an extra rotation-lock button -- much more useful than iOS' native lock that only lets you watch in portrait mode. Alas, video files other than of Xvid and DivX nature aren't currently supported, but hopefully it won't be long before the VLC iPad app gets a smaller variant as ...

Apple TV Can Install Apps, Now Just Lacks A Way To Launch Them

He claims that by tweaking some settings, he can install his own apps directly on the device without any issues. He even included the above screenshot from iPhone explorer (which also works just fine on Apple TV) to prove his ...

Windows Phone 7 worldwide launch one week from today, on T-Mobile
Despite all the talk about AT&T being Microsoft's exclusive U.S. launch partner for Windows Phone 7, it looks like T-Mobile will actually have the honor. According to a post on Microsoft's website, the "Windows Phone 7 Worldwide Launch Event" will take place next Monday, October 11, in New York City. The site also notes that, "T-Mobile reps will be present for device showing and their service offering discussion."

The original license was written by Stallman. Stallman had subsequently written a large number of GNU tools, but the license was his most important ...

Put a USB Dongle Inside Your Mouse for Hidden Storage [DIY]
We've featured a few ways to hide your data in plain sight, but DIYer Thice took a different approach: he actually hid a USB thumb drive inside his mouse.
Whether you're looking to hide a flash drive's worth of data or just free up a USB port on your computer, you can hide a USB dongle (whether it's a flash drive, a bluetooth module, or a Wi-Fi receiver) inside your mouse with a USB hub and a little ingenuity. You'll need to know how to solder, as well as (carefully) cut up the circuit board inside a USB hub, but it's a pretty neat hack if you have the room to fit all the parts in your mouse (or keyboard, or whatever else you might want to use).

GroupMe's new iPhone app and web interface make groups a lot easier to manage, so I think they warrant a little additional raving. GroupMe's designed for anyone, even users of ancient dumbphones, but if you do happen to have an iPhone, the GroupMe app makes it easy to manage your group, including quickly adding people from your iPhone's address book.
