Abstract: Example methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to perform real-time cost management for utilities are disclosed. Disclosed example methods for real-time utility cost management include displaying, on a display associated with an appliance, utility pricing data received via a network. Such disclosed example methods also include, after displaying the utility pricing data, determining, based on a first input received via a user interface associated with the appliance, whether remote control of the appliance is permitted. Such disclosed example methods further include, in response to determining that remote control of the appliance is permitted, delaying activation of an operation of the appliance until receipt of a first command via the network.

Abstract: A mechanism is described for facilitating proximity and context-based deduction of global positioning of computing devices according to one embodiment of the invention. A method of embodiments of the invention includes detecting wireless proximity of a plurality of computing devices with respect to a computing device, and selecting one or more of the plurality of computing devices based on their detected proximity to the computing device. The method may further include receiving contextual information from the one or more computing devices, and semantically deducing location of the computing device based on the received contextual information.
