Today's Story Highlights

Changes in Federal IT Spending Require Nimble Contracting

Federal agencies will continue to spend heavily on IT over the next five
years, but the pace and direction of spending will be complicated by
shifting priorities, congressional constraints and a presidential
election. The bottom line is that the overall rate of IT spending will
be above $98 billion each year for next six federal fiscal years,
according to a forecast Deltek released last month.

Today's Story Highlights

Pokemon Go Devs Scramble to Fix Big Privacy Goof

Just days after Pokemon Go sent Nintendo shares soaring in Tokyo, the
game's developers were scrambling to close a massive privacy hole. The
iOS version of the mobile game -- which superimposes figures onto real-
world environments through augmented reality technology -- apparently
had a default setting that required users to grant broad permissions to
access their Google accounts.

Polaroid Swing Gives New Meaning to Moving Pictures

Polaroid Swing, a new iOS app for creating animated photos, on Tuesday
debuted at the App Store. The app has ties both to instant photography
pioneer Polaroid and Twitter founder Biz Stone. Polaroid Swing lets a
"phonetog" capture 1-second videos posing as images that become animated
when a phone is tilted, or when they're swiped or tapped. The app
presents three options.

Facebook Lets Messenger Conversations Go Dark

Facebook last week said it would begin testing long anticipated end-to-
end encryption capabilities in its Messenger app, enabling users to have
secret conversations. The new level of security means that a message
will be visible only to the sender and the recipient -- Facebook won't
even be able to read it. Users can set a timer to limit the amount of
time that a message remains visible.

SiFive Launches Freedom FOSS SoC Platforms

SiFive on Monday announced its flagship Freedom family of system on a
chip platforms. The platforms are based on the free and open source
RISC-V instruction set architecture that several of the company's
founders created at the University of California at Berkeley. SiFive's
Freedom U500 and E300 platforms take a new approach to SoCs, redefining
traditional silicon business models.

Google Dabbles in Post-Quantum Cryptography

Google has launched an experiment with post-quantum cryptography in
Chrome. A small fraction of connections between Google's servers and
Chrome on the desktop will use a post-quantum key-exchange algorithm in
addition to the elliptic-curve key-exchange algorithm already being
used. The idea is that large quantum computers eventually might be able
to break current security algorithms retroactively.
