Abstract: A system and method for dynamically modifying a media presentation is disclosed. A first presentation theme associated with a media presentation is determined. A plurality of multi-media data files are accessed, wherein each of the plurality of multi-media data files comprises associated metadata. A first of the plurality of multi-media data files are associated with the first presentation theme based on the associated metadata and the first of the plurality of multi-media data files is presented.

Abstract: Network-based and client-based operating environments implement computerized systems and techniques for organizing and discovering digital media objects originating from personal digital media sources. The association between a user-selected computer-usable descriptor and a particular digital media object serves as a semantic medium for exchange of information about the digital media object via a network, independent of whether the digital media object is registered with an established digital content sharing service. A user-selected computer-usable descriptor is part of one or more collections of such descriptors that are organized into published data structures having data elements corresponding to particular real-world meanings. Leveraging the consistent associations of computer-usable descriptors with the subject matter of personal digital media content within digital media objects enables the widespread and efficient computerized discovery of relevant digital media objects.

Abstract: In a single window browser environment, a request to open a new browser window is either allowed or ignored, depending on whether the request was generated in response to user input. The request is ignored if it was not generated in response to user input. If, on the other hand, the request was generated in response to user input, it is allowed. In such cases, in order to preserve the single window interface, the new browser window is opened as a full screen window that overlays the existing browser window. In certain implementations, the determination of whether or not a request was generated in response to user input is simplified by assuming that all requests that are generated during the loading or unloading of a page are not in response to user input and ought to be ignored. By contrast, window open requests that are generated at other times are assumed to be user-initiated and are allowed.
