Abstract: Embodiments are described for assisting a first person in finding a second person using a social network. A person may send a request to a server that identifies that person, the person he or she is looking for, and the requestor's location. The server may then traverse that person's social network to identify someone who is in a similar location and who knows the person being sought. The server may send an identification of this person who knows the person being sought to the requestor. Various privacy mechanisms are also disclosed, including anonymizing identifying information, and encrypting communications.

Abstract: Techniques described herein include systems and methods for throttling requests for content to reduce stress on a check out pipeline associated with an electronic marketplace thereby avoiding overstressing a server to the point of no longer processing requests from users. In embodiments, first information may be maintained that identifies a ranking for a plurality of items based on a score. A predicted velocity of content requests about the plurality of items may be maintained and second information about an actual velocity of content requests about the plurality of items may be received. In response to a request for content, a portion of items may be identified based on the scores associated with said portion and partition the portion into a number of groups or partitions based on the predicted velocity and the second information. A data object that comprises the portion of items associated with a partition may be generated.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to systems and processes of capturing a user's actions, computing actions, and/or other data, and then publishing relevant portions of the user's actions, computing actions, and/or other data to other users in a user community. The systems and processes provide techniques to minimize time and effort to create publications for the user community, while allowing the user to select relevant content and possibly annotate the content. Publication may be directed to other users that are likely to perform a similar computing action and/or to shared repositories.

Abstract: Current CAPTCHA tests are designed to be difficult for a bot and simple for a human-user to answer; however, as artificial intelligence improves, bots are more capable of using techniques such as optical character recognition to resolve current CAPTCHAs in similar manners as human-users. By providing a CAPTCHA challenge from a library or set of challenges that are designed in a manner that causes or likely causes a human-user to trivially get the answer to the challenge wrong, helps to confirm that a user is a human-user, as a bot would answer the challenge correctly.

Abstract: A photograph acquired by a camera, such as a smartphone, may include at least a part of a display device, such as a television or computer monitor. The display device may present a displayed image on the display device at the time of the photograph. The camera may send a request that may be processed by a source device such the television or a desktop computer. Responsive to the request, a presented image may be provided that corresponds to the displayed image on the display device at the time of the photograph. The presented image may then be used instead of the photograph, may be stored in addition to the photograph, may be used to update a portion of the photograph, and so forth.
