    Abstract: In a communication device comprising an operating system platform, which is operable to provide wired and/or wireless communication, and gaming, automatically detecting by the operating system platform, occurrence of one or more engaging gameplay moments for a corresponding game. For one or more users, the operating system platform may be operable to monitor one or more variables for the game to detect the occurrence of the one or more engaging gameplay moments. The operating system platform may be operable to detect whether to share information related to the one or more engaging gameplay moments with one or more social networking destinations.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for placing a device in a bootloader state. One of the methods includes determining, during a boot process of the apparatus, whether a device of a particular type is connected to the apparatus, in response to determining that a device of the particular type is connected to the apparatus, determining a device identifier for the device, comparing the device identifier for the device with a predetermined identifier that indicates a device to which the apparatus should provide control of the boot process to determine whether the device identifier is the same as the predetermined identifier, and in response to determining that the device identifier is the same as the predetermined identifier, maintaining the apparatus in a bootloader state to provide control of the boot process of the apparatus to the device.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, devices, and non-transitory computer readable media that relate to stereoscopic image creation. A camera captures an initial image at an initial position. A target displacement from the initial position is determined for a desired stereoscopic effect, and an instruction is provided that specifies a direction in which to move the camera from the initial position. While the camera is in motion, an estimated displacement from the initial position is calculated. When the estimated displacement corresponds to the target displacement, the camera automatically captures a candidate image. An acceptability analysis is performed to determine whether the candidate image has acceptable image quality and acceptable similarity to the initial image. If the candidate image passes the acceptability analysis, a stereoscopic image is created based on the initial and candidate images.

    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to displaying of a status of a network device. A performance of a preset sequence of actions can be initiated, where the preset sequence of actions includes a first action. A determination can be made as to whether the first action is performed successfully. Characteristics of the light sources can be set based on the determination of whether the first action is performed successfully.

    Abstract: A method for seamlessly and automatically updating an access point or router. The method includes receiving an update for the access point and determining a status of a network traffic associated with the access point. The method further includes determining an update time for applying the update based on the determined status of the network traffic and applying the update to the access point at the determined update time. An access point receives an update for the access point, and waits for a time to apply the update. The access point waits until there is no interactive traffic in which a user is actively using the network. The access point applies the update and reboots. By waiting until there is no interactive traffic, the update process mitigates interruptions to the user's active use of the network.

    Abstract: A wireless device and method detect a current signal strength of each of a number of wireless networks, determine an expected end-to-end data speed for each of the wireless networks using wireless network end-to-end data speed information that was historically compiled from prior connections with the wireless networks and using the detected current signal strength of each of the wireless networks. The wireless device and method connects to at least one wireless network based on the determined expected end-to-end data speed and/or provides a user interface that includes the determined expected end-to-end data speed and the detected signal strength indication of each of the wireless networks.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium for implementing network connectivity using power lines are described. After a device is connected to a power line, wireless network credentials that enable the device to access to a wireless network are transmitted to the device through the power line. A request is received from the device to connect to the wireless network. The request includes the wireless network credentials transmitted to the device through the power line. The device is determined to be authorized to access the wireless network based on the one or more credentials received in the request. In response to determining that the one or more wireless network credentials received in the request from the device are valid, wireless network access is provided to the device.
