A method, computer program product, and/or system dynamically appends a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) fragment identifier to a Uniform Resource Locator (URL). A web browser on a client device displays a webpage, and accesses the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) coding for the webpage. HTML identification attributes are detected for the content that is being rendered within the web browser. A URI fragment identifier corresponding to the HTML identification attribute that is being rendered at the top of the web browser window is determined and is appended to the end of the URL of the webpage that is displayed in the URL box of the web browser. Detection of the content that is being rendered at the top of the web browser window occurs responsive to a command to scroll to a new section of the webpage.

A first stream of audio data is received a into a data store. Excess pauses are identified in the audio data. A second stream of audio data is transmitted from the data store comprising the first stream of audio data with the excess pause removed, the second stream of audio data transmitted after a delay that is approximately equal to but no less than the duration of the removed excess pause.

Removing network delay in a live broadcast

Distributing licensed content across multiple devices, including: identifying, by a mobile device, licensed content being presented by a local presentation device; determining, by the mobile device, whether the mobile device is eligible to receive the licensed content; requesting, by the mobile device, a license for the licensed content being presented by the local presentation device; receiving, by the mobile device, the license for the licensed content being presented by the local presentation device; receiving, by the mobile device, licensed content for mobile device presentation; and presenting, by the mobile device, the licensed content for mobile device presentation.

In a method for accessing and storing original content without an overlay of interruption content, a computer receives original content with an overlay of interruption content during an interruption period from a content provider. The computer receives a notification that the interruption period is complete. The computer accesses original content without the overlay of interruption content. The computer stores the original content without the overlay of interruption content.

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for synchronously debugging a software program using a plurality of virtual machines are provided. Embodiments include controlling, by a master debugging module operating on a first virtual machine, execution of the software program within the first virtual machine; controlling, by a slave debugging module operating on a second virtual machine, execution of the software program within the second virtual machine including delaying execution of the software program within the second virtual machine relative to the execution of the software program within the first virtual machine; detecting, by the master debugging module, an error in the execution of the software program within the first virtual machine; and in response to the detection of the error, capturing, by a hypervisor, a snapshot of the second virtual machine.

Methods and systems for generating still images and video by capture of images projected by light passing through a display screen are disclosed. According to an aspect, a method includes controlling light emitting components of a display screen to activate in a sequence for displaying a sequence of images. For example, in an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display screen, the method may include controlling a subset of the display screen OLEDs to activate in sequence to display a sequence of images. The displayed sequence of images may appear to a viewer of the display screen to be a still image or a video. The method may control light emitting components different subsets of the LEDs to be activated in the sequence, such that different areas of the display screen display images in each part of the sequence.

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for load balancing servers are provided. Embodiments include determining, by a balance module, for each server within a rack comprising a plurality of servers, a vertical position of the server relative to the other servers within the rack; selecting from the plurality of servers, by the balance module, based on the determined vertical positions of the servers, a particular server to assign a workload; and assigning, by the balance module, the workload to the selected server.

Systems and method for communication of transaction data within a self-checkout environment are disclosed. According to an aspect, a method includes controlling a display device to display a machine-readable representation of transaction data. The method may include receiving a signal that indicates acknowledgement of reading of the machine-readable representation of the transaction data. Further, the method may include controlling the display device to display a machine-readable representation of other transaction data in response to receipt of the signal.
