Abstract: A software and/or hardware facility that enables shop and play remote media using a portable media player is disclosed. Shopping may include, but is not limited to, allowing a user to identify media and acquire (via download or stream) the media to a portable media player for free or for compensation. The facility in some embodiments, allows a user to shop for media on a network site or service using a portable media player via a wired or wireless connection. The facility in some embodiments, automatically presents a user with media available from a network site or service that is related to the context of the user's use of the portable media player, such as when a user navigates or otherwise uses the portable media player. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A wireless mobile phone is provided with an input-output interface and an output interface. The input-output interface may be employed singularly to facilitate removable attachment of a telephony headset to the phone to receive at least telephony audio signals from the phone, and to provide audio signals to the phone. Similarly, the output interface may be employed singularly to facilitate removable attachment of an audio output only headset to the phone to receive at least a selected one of telephony and non-telephony audio signals from the phone. However, the input-output interface and the output interface may also be used jointly to facilitate removable attachment of a two-plug headset to the phone to receive at least a selected one of telephony and non-telephony audio signals from the phone, and to provide audio signals to the phone.

Abstract: A method, system and computer-readable medium for providing user-interfacing within textures of three-dimensional models. A processor with hardware and software components stores one or more markup documents with one or more user-interface element that may be a link element in one or more texture image files of predefined three-dimensional model(s). Then, the processor generates a three-dimensional model(s) for display on a display device based on predefined three-dimensional model information, predefined viewpoint information and the one or more markup documents stored in the one or more texture image files. Users can cause the processor to generate a new markup documents as texture by selecting a link element displayed within the three-dimensional model's texture.

Abstract: The disclosed invention constitutes a method and system, including an audio mixer, for selecting audio streams from one or more applications running on a computer system. An application can register its audio streams with the audio mixer either as sound focus audio streams or as priority audio streams. With respect to the sound focus audio streams, the audio mixer determines which of the applications has the sound focus and generates an audio output signal from those sound focus audio streams to drive the computer's sound device and thereby to produce an audible sound for the user. Sound focus is determined when an application gains the input focus, opens an audio stream, closes an audio stream, or registers with the audio mixer. With respect to the priority audio streams, those priority audio streams are always selected by the audio mixer and are mixed with the sound focus audio streams from the application having sound focus to generate a composite audio output signal.
