Abstract: A method and technique for utilizing user feedback of product installation includes initiating, on a client computing system by a user, an install module of a product to install an instance of the product on the client computing system according to a default installation process. The install module interfaces with a server system and retrieves feedback data collected by the server system in connection with prior installations of the product. The install module creates a modified installation sequence for the product on the client computing system from the default installation process based on the retrieved feedback data and then installs the instance of the product on the client computing system according to the modified installation process.

Abstract: A method and technique for utilizing user feedback of product installation includes receiving, by a first install module executing on a server, feedback data associated with an installation of a first instance of a product on a first client computing system. The first install module assesses the feedback data and, based on the assessment of the feedback data, modifies a default installation sequence for the product to create a modified installation sequence. The first install module receives a communication from a second client computing system installing a second instance of the product on a second client computing system and interfaces with a second install module provided by the product executing on the second client computing system to communicate the modified installation sequence for installing the second instance of the product on the second client computing system by the second install module.

Abstract: Methods and systems may provide for tracking, on a position-by-position basis in a diverged code history associated with a diverged source stream, an origin source stream and an original position of code contained within the diverged source stream. Additionally, a modification may be detected with respect to a first portion of the code contained within the diverged source stream at a first position. In such a case, the modification and the first position may be automatically documented in the diverged code history.

Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for controlling access to a node deployed in a cloud environment. A new node, based upon a common image, is created in a cloud computing environment. A unique set of randomized system parameters are then generated for the new node, which is then mapped to a set of generic system parameters. A request to access the new node is intercepted, which contains the generic system parameters. The intercepted access request is then parsed to extract the set of generic system parameters, which are then replaced with the unique set of randomized system parameters associated with the target node to generate a modified access request. The modified access request is then forwarded to the target node.

Abstract: A mobile device controls content partitioning at a separate renderable content storage device of an item of renderable content into multiple partitioned content segments that are each less in size than the entire item of renderable content and that each fit within available memory of the mobile device. The mobile device renders on a display device of the mobile device multiple received content partition identifiers that each identify one partitioned content segment. The mobile device retrieves from the separate renderable content storage device a partitioned content segment of the item of renderable content identified by a user-selected content partition identifier. The mobile device renders the partitioned content segment. The mobile device automatically retrieves, in response to completion of rendering of the partitioned content segment, a second partitioned content segment using a second content partition identifier of the received multiple content partition identifiers.

Abstract: A method for utilizing a partial active installation session on a first computer system for an active installation session of a program product on a second computer system. Active installation of the program product having a plurality of components is initiated on the first computer system. A plurality of deployed components installed during the partial active installation session is duplicated. The deployed software components are archived into a new installation package. The new installation package is copied and deployed to the second computer system. Installation of the active product installation is completed on the second system.

Abstract: A computer receives an image access preference that is associated with a user included in a first game session. The computer receives an image from a camera, connected to the computer, through a network. The computer analyzes the first image to identify the presence of the user. The computer generates and compares a first analysis result a to a set of stored data to determine, based on the comparison, if the user is present. Responsive to determining that the user is present, the computer applies the received access preferences, associated with the present user, to the first image.
