    Abstract: Differences between editions of items, such as books, can be determined and information about those difference provided for display to a user. The information can include a difference score, for example, that indicates an overall level of difference between the editions. This can include a percentage difference in some embodiments, considering the overall differences or differences for portions considered to be significant. In other embodiments contextual information, weightings, and other factors can be used to attempt to generate a similarity (or difference) score that will be of more use to a potential consumer, where the consumer can determine the substantive differences between the versions and determine whether the difference in price justifies the extent of the differences. The consumer in some embodiments can also view the differences, or at least a subset or information about the differences.

    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for relating items to objects detected in media. An item recognition application obtains media information associated with a broadcast being consumed form the client device. The item recognition application identifies objects in the media based on user input of the location of the object on the client device display and/or heuristic detection of the object. The user may indicate the object's location through an input device. The object may be heuristically detected based on an algorithm that differentiates the object from the background. The item recognition application identifies items related to the object. The item recognition application then performs an action with the item.

    Abstract: Age data is calculated and stored that describes the age of one or more elements in a Web page, such as images or hyperlinks. The age data may be utilized to modify the Web page such that the age of each Web page element is visually presented when the Web page is rendered. For example, the Web page may be configured such that a region is overlaid upon each element that is colored or shaded based upon the age of the element. Colored or shaded borders might also be applied to the Web page elements that indicate the age of each Web page element. The age data might also be utilized to modify the Web page such that the frequency at which each page element has been changed will be visually presented when the Web page is rendered. The age data might also be correlated to other Web page statistics.
