Abstract: A method for managing media storage. The method includes determining, by a computer, that storage space is needed on a storage device, wherein the storage device stores one or more media files. The method includes determining a likely viewing device for a media file selected from the one or more media files and converting the media file from a first format to a second format, based on the determined likely viewing device.

Abstract: Automated response processing includes receiving a first audible prompt from a called system and a response to the first audible prompt from a calling system during a first phone call. Automated response processing further includes determining, using a processor, a semantic identifier for the first audible prompt using semantic analysis and storing the semantic identifier of the first audible prompt in association with the response. The stored response is played responsive to determining that a semantic identifier for a second audible prompt played to the calling system matches the semantic identifier of the first audible prompt.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and articles for sending emails to a plurality of recipients comprising a group of blind carbon copied recipients. A graphical user interface (GUI) screen comprising a TO field, a carbon copy field, and at least one blind carbon copy group (BCC-G) field may be provided for entering a list of recipients for the email. The email may be transferred to the recipients such that the identities of a plurality of recipients in the at least one BCC-G field are disclosed only to the recipients within the BCC-G field.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for automated data updating of notices in a calendaring and scheduling (C&S) system. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for automated data updating of notices in a C&S system can be provided. The method can include composing a C&S document in a C&S system executing in memory by at least one processor of a computer. The method further can include noticing different users addressed for the C&S document and adding to the C&S document a reference to variable data stored separately from the C&S document. The method yet further can include detecting a change in the variable data. Finally, the method can include transmitting notice to the different users of the change in variable data. In one aspect of the embodiment, transmitting notice to the different users of the change in variable data can include flagging the C&S document as having changed.

Abstract: A state restoration unit tracks opening and closing of programs within a computer operating system. Responsive to detecting opening and closing of programs, a state restoration structure is updated. After the computer operating system restarts from a failure, the state restoration structure is accessed. The state restoration unit restores those of the programs indicated as open in the state restoration structure.

Abstract: A method can include associating an electronic document with an electronic mail message as an attachment and determining that the electronic document is in an uncompleted state using a processor. The method can include replacing the electronic document with an updated version of the electronic document as the attachment to the electronic mail message and sending the electronic mail message with the updated version of the electronic document as the attachment responsive to detecting a completion condition for the electronic document.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for indicating a hyperlink in a message as being inappropriate for a specified user environment, such as an office or an educational setting. In one embodiment, a message may be received from a sending user and to a receiving user (e.g., by a sending mail client or by a mail server). The message may include a hyperlink. If a message includes a hyperlink determined to be inappropriate for the specified user environment, a property of the message may be set to indicate as such. Optionally, the sending user may be notified that the hyperlink is indicated as being inappropriate for the specified user environment. The receiving user may also be warned not to activate the hyperlink that is determined to be inappropriate.

Abstract: Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for managing digital images to be shared with and/or printed for a user. In one embodiment, the digital images may be received for the user. That a count of the digital images exceeds a threshold count may be determined. The digital images may be transmitted to a location where they may be printed for the user. The user may be notified when the printed images are ready to be picked up by the user.

Abstract: A multimedia data stream including an audio data stream and a video data stream is received from a server at a computing device. An audio output signal for the audio data stream and a video output signal for the video data stream are generated. A user interface action that blocks output of one of the audio data stream and the video data stream is detected via the computing device. A multimedia traffic reduction request is sent to the server instructing the server to stop transmission of a portion of the multimedia data stream associated with the blocked output of one of the audio data stream and the video data stream.

Abstract: Provided are techniques for generating mappings between virtual desktops of a computing system to physical display devices of the computing system such that a change in the configuration of the physical monitors coupled to the computing system triggers an implementation of the corresponding mapping. Also provided are persistent storage of the mappings and the implementation of the desktop to monitor mapping, based upon the stored mappings, upon startup of the computing system.

Abstract: A computer system, computer program product, and method of sharing and creating social network reviews of selected programs that may be viewed and shared over a social network. If a user agrees with a social network review already present for a selected program, the categorization and editing of inappropriate content of the selected program may be applied to the same program for that user. If a user disagrees with a social network review of a selected program already present, the user may review the selected program and edit any inappropriate content as desired and submit the review to the social network.
