President Barack Obama plans to announce he has appointed Vivek Kundra, the District of Columbia's chief technology officer to take the top information technology post in the federal government, according to a source. Kundra, who has deployed advanced applications to improve the performance of public services during his nearly two years as CTO for the District, will replace Karen Evans as administrator for e-government and information technology in the Office of Management and Budget.
The position effectively serves as the federal government's chief information officer. The administration could announce Kundra's appointment as soon as Thursday. Kundra could not be reached, and a spokesman for Washington Mayor Adrian Fenty declined to comment. Kundra's name has been linked to a top IT job in the Obama administration for months, though most of the discussion has focused on the still-open chief technology officer position. During the campaign, Obama said the CTO would report directly to him, indicating the position would have authority. Read the full Government Executive story here and an earlier interview with Kundra here.

I am working on a little joke of an iPhone app. I already have the dev membership subscription, but I neither want to sell the app nor do I want to try to go through the process of selling it through the store. Can people install iPhone apps directly onto their phone, without going through the store? I don't have an iPhone so I do not know.

I just felt I needed to drop in and mention howdy to everyone. I needed to acquaint me, my name is Joshua. Hello everyone, my name is Josh.how-do-you-do to all, I am new here and my name is Jocelyn.
I determined to post now because I think place as a whole is very structural and cordial. I love reading all of the topics and threads here and taking into consideration that I am not much of a poster, I came to the conclusion to create my very initial topic.
To dedicate back to the community, I have decided I wanted to inform everyone of a new sure experience that I have had with another company I had help me. This website was up front and extremely professional.
That company is OnlineComputerHelpers.com and they offer remote assistance http://www.onlinecomputerhelpers.com - online computer repair

Hello everyone!
I'm really liking the helpfulness of this wonderful community here and I was hoping that you could provide some feedback for me.
I created a website that aims to enable students to collaborate their notes with each other and hopefully this would enhance their learning and help them become better doctors, pharmacists, engineers and etc.
Right now, the site is done the beta, but I still feel that it can be improved upon. So, I was wondering if you could provide suggestions and constructive feedback on how to improve the site. I feel that this would really help students succeed.
The site is here: Share notes
Thanks again everyone
