Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for managing deployment conflicts between applications executing in one or more processing environments. A first application is executed in a first processing environment and responsive to a request to execute the first application. During execution of the first application, a determination is made to redeploy the first application for execution partially in time on a second processing environment providing a higher capability than the first processing environment in terms of at least a first resource type. A deployment conflict is detected between the first application and at least a second application.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for serving a webpage based on a zoom level. The techniques include requesting, by a client device, contents of a webpage. The request may include indications of a zoom level and a viewable area of the webpage as shown on a display of the client device. A server system may determine that the zoom level indicated in the request is less than a threshold value and identify content items within the viewable area which meet predefined criteria for being considered expensive. Further, the server system may serve a modified webpage which includes replacement items in lieu of the expensive content items.

Abstract: Methods and systems to obtain desired web content for a mobile device are disclosed. Users access web pages with mobile devices such as smart phones in addition to their non-mobile devices. In order to conveniently display information on mobile devices having smaller screens, mobile versions of web pages offering abridged content are available as well as non-mobile versions. When a web page is selected from search results provided from a query in a web search, the mobile or non-mobile versions of the web page may be delivered. By delivering a web page version to a mobile device based on relevance rankings determined for the non-mobile and mobile versions of the web page, desired content is more efficiently delivered. In this manner, a search experience may be improved by reducing deliveries of mobile versions of web pages to mobile devices where an alternative non-mobile version of the web page is preferred.

Abstract: System, method, and computer program product to resume playback between different media formats of a media title, by monitoring progress of a user consuming the media title in a first media format, differences existing between the first media format and the different media formats, responsive to the user stopping consumption of the media title in the first media format, computing a stopping point in the first media format, identifying at least one resume point for each of the different media formats, computing a similarity score for each identified resume point based on a similarity of the stopping point in the first media format and each identified resume point, and upon determining that the user has triggered an indication to consume the media title in a second media format, resuming playback of the media title at a resume point for the second media format having the highest similarity score.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for implementing reduced video stream bandwidth requirements when remotely rendering a complex computer graphics scene. Complexity of a scene is reduced at a server, prior to rendering a video stream that comprises the scene and transmitting the video stream to a client. Reducing the complexity of a scene at the server includes adjusting predefined scene configuration parameters. The order and degree to which predefined scene configuration parameters are adjusted is based upon a required stream bandwidth reduction to be made.

Abstract: Method, system, and computer program product for performing an operation for automatic electronic book augmentation. The operation presents an electronic book via a display screen of an electronic device, and identifies user preferences. The operation then determines a current reading position of a user within the electronic book. The operation then identifies, based on the user's current reading position, a context within the electronic book. The operation then identifies, based on the context and the user preferences, sensory effects to enhance the user's experience. The operation then outputs the sensory effects.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for managing deployment conflicts between applications executing in one or more processing environments. A first application is executed in a first processing environment and responsive to a request to execute the first application. During execution of the first application, a determination is made to redeploy the first application for execution partially in time on a second processing environment providing a higher capability than the first processing environment in terms of at least a first resource type. A deployment conflict is resolved between the first application and at least a second application.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for evaluating an application to determine a processing environment suited for executing the application. A request may be received to execute the application. If execution data identified for the application do not satisfy a first set of criteria, the application is deployed for execution on a first processing environment. If the execution data satisfy the first set of criteria, the application is deployed for execution partially in time on a second processing environment, based on the execution data. The second processing environment provides a higher capability than the first processing environment in terms of at least one resource type.

Abstract: Techniques are described for managing states of an object using a finite-state machine. The states may be used to indicate whether an object has been added, removed, requested or updated. Embodiments of the invention generally include dividing a process into at least two threads where a first thread changes the state of the object while the second thread performs the processing of the data found in the object. While the second thread is processing the data, the first thread may receive additional updates and change the states of the objects to inform the second thread that it should process the additional updates when the second thread becomes idle.
