Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method for distributing data from within a virtual world to multiple hosts. In one embodiment, primary areas within the virtual world may be hosted on servers controlled by the provider of the virtual world. At the same time, some areas within the virtual world may be controlled by a second party and hosted by a secondary server. In the virtual environment, an interface may be provided to access the area controlled by the second party.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention generally provide a method, system, and program product for sharing electronic transactions among multiple sharing participants. Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for splitting individual lots into multiple “shares,” where multiple individuals have an incentive to promote and drive up the price of the lot. Provided the bids reach an acceptable amount, the final selling price is split among each individual in proportion to the number of shares held by each individual.

Abstract: Automatically completing a GUI task. Exemplary embodiments a method including providing a user configurable auto-completion application operating in the background of a computer operating system and executing on a computing device, the auto-completion application monitoring and archiving user activities, wherein certain actions by the user are parsed and indexed, analyzing the parsed and indexed actions of the user to determine at least one of relationships, user interactions, user statistics, various states of the user's actions over time, and images or video of the user's interaction to create an index of the user's typical interactions with the system and providing a fast-forward functionality based on the index such that a tree structure is presented to the user on a display device of the computing device, the tree structure indicating the user's current state in the system and one or more future states the user typically takes based on a past act.

Abstract: A method of reallocating memory to a hypervisor in a virtualized computing system, includes: assigning priorities to a plurality of logical partitions configured within the virtualized computing system; determining a memory requirement for the hypervisor, the hypervisor configured to manage the plurality of logical partitions; determining minimum levels of memory required for each of the plurality of logical partitions; determining the amount of available memory in the virtualized computing system; and in the event that the amount of available memory is less than the determined memory requirement of the hypervisor, removing portions of memory from one or more of the plurality of logical partitions based on the assigned priorities until the determined memory requirement for the hypervisor is obtained.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and products are provided for capturing a GUI display environment. Embodiments include identifying a plurality of rendered GUI objects in the GUI display; selecting one or more GUI objects for non-functional re-rendering; selecting one or more GUI objects for functional re-rendering saving the content and display characteristics of each GUI object for non-functional re-rendering; saving the content, display characteristics, and at least one of the functional GUI characteristics of each GUI object for functional re-rendering; non-functionally re-rendering one or more of the GUI objects in dependence upon the saved content and display characteristics; and functionally re-rendering one or more of the GUI objects in dependence upon the saved content, display characteristics, and functional GUI characteristics.

Abstract: Allowing a bidder to group lots in online auctions, including receiving in an online auction server an instruction from a grouping bidder to combine at least two separate lots from separate online auctions into a group lot; combining by the online auction server the at least two separate lots into a group lot for bids from the grouping bidder; receiving in the online auction server a bid from the grouping bidder on the group lot; and applying by the online auction server the bid from the grouping bidder on the group lot to the at least two separate lots.
