In some examples, email tracking software may be used to receive back the indication.

Abstract: In one aspect, a device may include at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage may include instructions executable by the at least one processor to determine an operative microphone of the device from among plural available microphones and take one or more actions at the first device based on determining the operative microphone. The one or more actions may include, for example, presenting an indication at the device that a first microphone is the operative microphone, and/or switching the operative microphone from one available microphone to another available microphone at which audible input is already being received.

Abstract: In one aspect, a first device includes at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to determine that an application stored at the first device is programmed to communicate with a second device. The instructions are then executable to, based on the determination, present an indication at the first device of a current location of the second device and/or a domain name associated with the second device. The instructions are also executable to receive user input approving the application to communicate with the second device subsequent to presenting the indication, and then to permit the application to communicate with the second device via the first device responsive to the user input.

Abstract: A method, device and computer program product are provided that receive a selection of a link to a destination resource at the computing device. The link is compared to a categorization library. The categorization library includes browser instance guidelines regarding accessing a web page associated with the link. Based on the comparing, the web page, associated with the destination resource, is launched in accordance with one of the browser instance guidelines that include: i) launching the web page as an appendage to a first browser instance that is already active when the link is in a first category, ii) launching the web page in a second browser instance separate from the first browser instance when the link is in a second category, and iii) launching the web page in a third browser instance utilizing a non-default browser type when the link is in a third category.
