摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for provisioning a virtual resource instance (e.g., a server instance, etc.) in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment) based upon network characteristics (e.g., physical locations, email addresses/configurations, network connection types, internet protocol (IP) addresses, etc.) of a set (at least one) of intended end users of the virtual resource instance. Specifically, in a typical embodiment, the network characteristics associated with the set of intended end users will be gathered and analyzed (e.g., to determine end user location, etc.). The analysis of the network characteristics will then be used to calculate/determine relative (e.g., network) efficiency scores for each intended end user for a set of potential data centers for the virtual resource instance. The relative efficiency scores for each potential data center will be summed/totaled to yield a total (e.g., network) efficiency score for each potential data center. Thereafter, the particular data center with the highest/best total efficiency score may be selected, and the requested resource instance may be provisioned at that data center.

A system that responds to a user setting a follow-up flag on a message within a first communication application by associating the flagged message with another user, such that the flagged message is available to a second communication application. When a user sets a flag on an electronic mail message contained in an electronic mail mailbox provided by an electronic mail application, the system responds by associating the flagged message with another user in a list of other users with whom flagged messages are associated. When a communication session occurs with the other user through another communication application, the system checks the list and determines that a flagged message is associated with the other user. The flagged message is then brought to the attention of the local user, for example within a list of flagged messages associated with the other user displayed simultaneously with the instant messaging session.

Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for rendering a document having collapsible sections of content. In one embodiment, the document may be received and rendered for display. Rendering the document for display may include collapsing all but a first section of the collapsible sections of content. Rendering the document for display may also include collapsing all but a second section of the collapsible sections of content, upon determining that a period of time has elapsed since collapsing all but the first section of the collapsible sections of content.

A mobile device includes a processor that executes a portal application to implement a plurality of portlet modules; and a user interface that allows a user to establish a trigger for reducing power consumption in the mobile device. The processor is configured to pause operations in a number of the portlet modules in the portal application in response to the trigger occurring.

An embodiment of the invention includes a method for displaying electronic messages. The electronic messages are displayed to a user in a conversation thread. The conversation thread only includes a first message and at least one reply message, wherein the reply message including a direct reply to the first message and/or an indirect reply to the first message. A request is received from the user to display select messages from the conversation thread. The request includes a request to display only messages from the conversation thread sent from a select sender or a request to display only messages from the conversation thread not sent from the select sender. Only the select messages from the conversation thread are displayed to the user based on the received request.

An embodiment of the invention provides a method for communication within a system, wherein an instant messaging conversation is initiated between a first user and a second user. An indicator and a text entry are received from the first user during the instant messaging conversation. The status of the first user is changed, including automatically setting the text entry as the status of the first user, and automatically including the name of the second user in the status of the first user if preferences of the first user indicate that the name of the second user is to be included in the status of the first user. Further, the text entry is automatically sent to the second user if the preferences of the first user indicate that a text entry following the indicator is to be automatically sent to the second user.

Techniques to segment a ticket into at least two ticket segments for a customizable event experience are disclosed. Events can have natural break points or event segments such as innings, periods, quarters, halves, or acts. In accordance with the claimed subject matter, a ticket can be segmented into a ticket segment for each of the event segments. Event factors, progression, and demand information can be monitored to allow or deny access to a ticket segment, set pricing, filter ticket segments, or adjust ticket segments. Furthermore, as the event progresses, analysis can continue and the ticket segments can be dynamically updated accordingly.

A method and apparatus for managing executable files. Responsive to detecting a request to run an executable file on a computer, a processor unit determines whether the executable file was downloaded to the computer within a period of time associated with a recent download. Responsive to a determination that the executable file was downloaded to the computer within the period of time, the processor unit determines whether feedback for the executable file from a number of users of the executable file is present in a repository. The feedback identified for the executable file in the repository is presented using a presentation system. User input as to whether the executable file should be run is prompted for by the processor unit after presenting the feedback.

Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for splitting an avatar a split point in a virtual world. In one embodiment, a location in the virtual world may be designated as the split point. It may be determined that a first avatar has encountered the split point. The user may be prompted to specify whether to split the first avatar in a virtual world. Responsive to a request to split the first avatar, a second avatar may be created from the first avatar. The first avatar and the second avatar may be controlled independently in the virtual world and in response to user input. A user may also request to merge the first avatar and the second avatar. A third avatar may be created from the first avatar and the second avatar, responsive to the request to merge. The third avatar may include assets of both the first avatar and the second avatar.
