Abstract: A computer implemented method and media performance apparatus. Content items include user owned content and advertising supported content. A determination is made as to whether a next content item for presentation is an advertising supported content item or a user-owned content item. The content item is present if the next content item for presentation is a user-owned content item, and, if not, add to a count if the next content item is an advertising supported content item. An advertisement is presented prior to performing any next advertising supported content item when the count reaches a threshold number.

Abstract: Embodiments related to the non-uniform scrolling of a scrollable list displayed on a computing device display are disclosed. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a method of operating a display comprising displaying a scrollable list of items that includes a first pair of list positions separated by a first spacing on the display, and a second pair of list positions separated by a second spacing that is different than the first spacing. The method further comprises detecting a movement of a manipulator from a first location to a second location, and in response, scrolling a first list item on the display between the first pair of list positions at a first scroll distance/manipulator movement distance correspondence, and scrolling a second list item between the second pair of list positions at a second scroll distance/manipulator movement distance correspondence.
