Abstract: A cloud service stores and aggregates content that is obtained from different content sources using different protocols. For example, the content may include electronic messages, calendar information, contacts, social network content, feed data, search results, and the like. The cloud service aggregates content for each user based on the user's configuration settings. The cloud service may perform processing on the aggregated content before it is delivered and displayed to the user on the client device. For example, one or more views may be generated and stored by the cloud service before the view is requested from the client. Changes made to the aggregated content on the client may be synchronized with the content source. Searches may be made across all or a portion of the different content sources that are aggregated for a user.

Abstract: Disclosed here are implementations involving an application program that includes an event handling portion. The event handling portion monitors for an event associated with execution of an initial portion of the application program downloaded with the event handling portion that involves an additional portion of the application program not yet downloaded. In response to detecting the event, the execution of the initial portion of the application program is paused by the event handler and downloading of the additional portion is initiated. Upon downloading the additional portion of the application program, execution of the initial portion of the application program can resume.

Abstract: An online service stores and augments aggregated content that is obtained from different content sources. For example, the content may include electronic messages, calendars, contacts, social network content, feed data, search results, and the like. The online service augments the aggregated content to include additional content. The online service may augment the aggregated content differently based on the type of the content being augmented. For example, electronic messages may be augmented differently as compared to when augmenting calendar events or contact cards. Searches may be made across all or a portion of the different content sources that are aggregated and augmented for a user. For example, a user may view the messages from a particular user regardless of the message provider providing the content to the user. Similarly, a user may perform a general search across each of the different content sources to locate items matching a search query.

Abstract: Embodiments are provided to create a virtual application or suite of virtual applications. In an embodiment, a system is configured to create a virtual package which includes information that can be used in a hosted virtual application environment. The system can provide bits of a virtual package based in part on user demand for an application or certain application functionality. In one embodiment, a system includes a sequencer component which can create a virtual package which includes information associated with setup-time and run-time changes made to a computing device. The sequencer component can use a number of extensible markup language (XML) files to create the virtual package. Other embodiments are available.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for creation, implementation, and use of computer-generated “smart” documents to which functionality is attached for providing contextually sensitive tools, controls and help content to users of those documents. Portions of documents are annotated with Extensible Markup Language (XML) tags and structure so that when a user enters those portions, such as by placing a computer cursor in those portions, the user is provided contextually sensitive tools, controls and/or help content. A document tools pane may open on the user's computer screen adjacent to the document being edited for providing the document tools, controls or help content related to the context of the text or data in which the cursor is located. If the user moves the cursor to another portion of the document, the user may obtain information associated with the context of the new portion of the document in which the cursor is located.

Abstract: A user may easily read, browse, and jump through the messages contained within a thread. Different portions of the message may be highlighted such that they are easily identifiable. The user may easily navigate through the thread by selecting a user interface element, such as an arrow button, to move to the next or previous message within the thread. The order of the thread may also be reversed such that the user may view the thread from the first message to the last message, or view the thread from the last message to the first message. The messages within the thread may be marked, such as by using XML tags, in order to facilitate the identification of the sections of the messages within the thread.

Abstract: An improved reading mode for electronic documents is provided. An electronic document is displayed in one or more discrete pages to provide a “look and feel” of reading a physical book or other document. Page turning controls are provided on each displayed page for turning a single page or for rapidly turning numerous pages. A page may be pinned so that the pinned page remains displayed while an adjacently displayed page is turned. Reading pointer controls and reading underlines may be deployed adjacent to and under selected text, respectively, for providing helpful reading reference points. Bookmarks may be deployed adjacent to text or images of interest in one or more pages of a displayed electronic document.

Abstract: Extensible markup language schemas for bibliographies and citations facilitate utilization of bibliographic information. For example, a schema utilization module may enable the creation, modification, interpretation, etc. of a schema for bibliographic information. A schema utilization module may be an independent program, part of an application program, and so forth. A schema for bibliographic information defines a framework for bibliographic information. The bibliographic information may be embedded in a document, embodied as a master list, and so forth. In a described implementation, the schema for bibliographic information comports with an open-standard such as extensible markup language (XML). The schema enumerates multiple source types and the data types associated therewith.

Abstract: Programmable object models for bibliographies and citations enable manipulation of bibliographic information. For example, a programmable object model for one or more bibliographic sources in a document may include a manipulation module programmed to manipulate the one or more bibliographic sources in the document. The bibliographic information may be manipulated via at least one object-oriented message call. The programmable object model may also enable manipulation of bibliographic information in the context of a master list of bibliographic sources. By way of example only, bibliographic sources may be copied from a master list to a document, and vice versa, in accordance with a programmable object model.

Abstract: Fields for presentable files can be determined by an application (i) based on a field type and at least one parameter of the fields and (ii) responsive to raw data and a separate transformation engine, even when the application is unaware of the mechanics of the separate transformation engine. In a described implementation for a given field, the field type indicates that the given field is to be evaluated based on raw data that is referenced by the at least one parameter of the given field. The transformation engine is applied to the referenced raw data to produce a result for the given field that is suitable for presentation. In an example implementation, the transformation engine includes multiples sets of presentation rules that may be selectively established for application to the fields. In an example embodiment, respective presentation rule subsets target respective types of raw data.

Abstract: A self-updating frameset having a target document in one frame and a Table-of-Contents (TOC) document in another frame hyperlinked to the target document. A reference document (RD) field is inserted into the TOC document to identify the target document as the target of the TOC. A TOC field in the TOC document scans the target document to identify selected headings as entries in the TOC document. When the selected headings are identified, the TOC field creates hyperlink entries in the TOC document, each hyperlink entry having a corresponding anchor at a selected heading in the target document. The hyperlink entries in the TOC document can be automatically updated each time the fields in the TOC document are recalculated.
