Abstract: An approach is provided for a wireless mobile device that includes a processor, a wireless adapter, and a memory to connect to an access point using a generated random pseudo-MAC address that reduces address collisions with other devices. The approach generates a dynamic MAC address for the device. The dynamic MAC address includes a static portion that is based on a portion of an actual MAC address of the device and a dynamic portion that is based on a quasi-random value. The device wirelessly connects to an access point using the generated dynamic MAC address.

Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: In one aspect, a device includes a processor, memory accessible to the processor, and storage accessible to the processor. The storage bears instructions executable by the processor to determine a context associated with the device and at least in part based on the determination, configure a standby portion of the memory.

Abstract: An aspect provides a method, including: accessing a tagging profile based on a store of historical user object information; determining, using the processor, a current user object search has been made by a user; determining, using the processor, a priority smart tag for providing results for the current user object search based on the tagging profile; and providing the results of the current user object search according to the priority tag determined. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: For voice mail transcription, a method is disclosed that includes detecting a communication device communicating an audio signal from the communication device to a voicemail system and transmitting data selected from the group consisting of text message data generated from the audio signal and voice training data to the voicemail system.

Abstract: An approach is provided that, upon receiving a keyboard event, reduces a volume of an audio input channel from a first volume level to a lower volume level. After the volume of the audio input channel is reduced, the approach waits until a system event occurs, with the system event based at least in part on the occurrence of a nondeterministic event.

Abstract: An approach is provided for identifying favorite multimedia content, such as digital photographs, possessed by a user. The approach detects a number of content sharing actions involving multimedia content, such as digital photographs, with the detecting being from a number of content handling applications, such as social media sites and person-to-person sharing. One of the content handling applications is a content player, such as a image viewer, that runs on a portable device, such as a smart phone or tablet computer system. The approach computes a shared content score for each of the multimedia content, with the shared content score being based on the content handling application that was used in the content sharing actions. The approach further identifies “favorite” multimedia content based on the shared content score pertaining to each multimedia content.
