Abstract:
In one general aspect, a computing device can include a base, and a lid coupled to the base, the lid housing a display device that includes a first electrochromic material, a second electrochromic material, and an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display. The OLED display can be located between the first electrochromic material and the second electrochromic material.
Abstract:
Techniques and devices for secure persistent software updates are described. Through use of these techniques and devices, events that can prevent a software update from occurring can be detected and operations that enable the software update to occur can be performed. The techniques are capable of ensuring a computing device is using a latest software and that persistent software updates continue, despite any efforts to compromise the computing device.

Abstract:
In one general aspect, a computing device can include a base, and a lid coupled to the base. The lid can house a display section including a first side and a second side. The display section can include a display device having a first side and a second side. The first side of the display device can be located on the first side of the display section and the second side of the display device can be located on the second side of the display section. An enclosure can surround the display device. The enclosure can include a fluid, a plurality of particles suspended in the fluid, and a layer of circuitry disposed on a surface of the enclosure. The computing device can be configured to control movement of the particles within the fluid by applying an electric field to the layer of circuitry.

Abstract:
A computing device updates wireless connectivity information while the device is in an idle state, in expectation of user-interaction. Power is suspended to wireless network circuitry in a mobile device, for example, when the device is in an idle state. On detecting a movement of the mobile device, a location sensor is activated to read a current location of the mobile device while power to the wireless network circuitry is suspended. Based on the current location being a threshold distance from a location determined before power to the wireless network circuitry was suspended, the wireless network circuitry is activated and a current listing of wireless access points near the mobile device is determined without user interaction with the virtual features of the device.
