Abstract: A video display hub is mounted in a common household area such as a kitchen or family room. During times that have been designated as being available for communications, devices in first and second households exchange and display blurred video, allowing users in each household to see vague shapes and movements of the other household. Upon noticing activity, a user in the first household may initiate a video conversation, causing the video from the first household to be unblurred and causing unobscured voice to be transmitted to the second household. A user in the second household may respond by allowing the video conversation to be fully enabled, allowing the video from the second household to be unblurred and unobscured voice to be transmitted back to the first household.

Abstract: A video display hub is mounted in a common household area such as a kitchen or family room. The display hub is configured to display various types of information for users in the area, such as weather, traffic updates, schedules, notes, messages, lists, news, etc. When the user is at a distance from the display hub, information is presented at a relatively low density, with a low level of granularity and detail in conjunction with large fonts, graphics, and icons. When the user is close to the display hub, information is presented at a relatively high density, with a high level of granularity and detail in conjunction with small fonts, graphics, and icons.

Abstract: A software testing framework provides functionality for utilizing pre-existing tests to load and performance test a network service. Methods can be tagged with annotations indicating that they are tests, such as integration tests. The methods implementing the integration tests can also be tagged with other types of annotations that can be used to select individual tests for use in testing, such as annotations indicating whether a test is a positive or negative test, annotations specifying dependencies upon other tests, or annotations indicating that a test is a member of a test suite. The annotations can be utilized in conjunction with test selection criteria to select individual integration tests for use in load and performance testing of the network service. The selected integration tests can be deployed to and executed upon load-generating instances to execute the integration tests and generate requests to the network service at high throughput.
