In some embodiments, techniques for displaying a URL comprise receiving a URL; normalizing the URL, wherein normalizing the URL includes standardizing an encoding of a character contained in the URL; determining a first element of the URL, wherein the first element of the URL includes a domain; determining a second element of the URL; displaying the URL, wherein displaying the URL includes emphasizing the first element of the URL, and wherein emphasizing the first element of the URL includes displaying the first element of the URL using a first font attribute; and wherein displaying the URL includes displaying a first portion of the second element of the URL using a second font attribute and eliding a second portion of the second element of the URL; and responsive to an interaction with a user interface element, providing a view of the URL in its entirety.

Fraud prevention via distinctive URL display

In some embodiments, techniques for searching comprise providing receiving a request for a local search, determining a current location associated with a document currently being viewed, determining a search restriction specification associated with the current location associated with the document currently being viewed, wherein the search restriction specification relates to a specification of a set of pages to be searched, obtaining local search results by performing a search, wherein the local search results are limited to members of the set of pages to be searched in accordance with the search restriction specification, and presenting the local search results.

Category-based search

A method includes: receiving, by a computer, a user input corresponding to selection of a link associated with an address; determining, by the computer, that the address would not fit in an address bar of a browser displayed on a screen of the computer; and based on the determination that the address would not fit in the address bar of the browser, displaying, by the computer, in the address bar of the browser, a first element of the address and at least part of a second element of the address, including displaying a first portion of the second element of the address and an ellipsis indication representing a second portion of the second element of the address. The display of the first element of the address is visually distinguished from the display of the first portion of the second element of the address.

Anti-phishing

In some embodiments a system is provided, comprising a playback device, configured to play a piece of multimedia content, stop playing the piece of multimedia content, wherein the playing of the piece of multimedia content is stopped at a first point, connect to a server, and synchronize information relating to the first point to the server; the server, configured to save the information relating to the first point in a profile associated with an individual user, connect to a recipient device, and synchronize the information relating to the first point to a recipient device; the recipient device, configured to play the piece of multimedia content, wherein playing the piece of multimedia content on the recipient device starts from a second point related to the first point at which the playing of the piece of multimedia content on the playback device is stopped.

Method and device for synchronizing data

Local search using restriction specification

In some embodiments, a technique for providing location-based functionality comprises providing functionality, wherein the functionality uses information provided by a location-aware device.

Location-based applications

In some embodiments, techniques for computer security comprise receiving a message, receiving a user-originated request for an action, wherein the action is associated with the message, determining whether the message is trustworthy, and impairing performance of the action, if it is determined that the message is not trustworthy. In some embodiments, techniques for computer security comprise receiving a message, determining whether the message is trustworthy, rendering the message, if it is determined that the message is trustworthy, and rendering a restricted version of the message, if it is determined that the message is not trustworthy.

Systems and related methods are disclosed to store and throttle requests received by a service provider. In embodiments, the system includes two queues, a first-in-first-out (FIFO) queue and an overflow queue. An incoming request is stored in the overflow queue when there is no room in the FIFO queue. The overflow queue stores the requests in some priority order, which determines the order that the requests are promoted onto the FIFO queue and throttled. The FIFO queue may be sized according to a response time requirement provided in a service level agreement (SLA). In some embodiments, the FIFO queue may dynamically adjust its size based on the expected processing time or abandon duration of incoming requests. The hybrid approach allows a system to handle requests in simple FIFO order in normal circumstances, and in a more sophisticated priority order when the system is overloaded.

Hybrid queue system for request throttling

Methods, systems, and computer storage mediums for reducing navigation redirect latency by using speculative preconnection. A redirect speculation value is retrieved in response to a request for a source Uniform Resource Locator (URL), where the redirect speculation value is based on the source URL. The redirect speculation value includes the source URL, a target URL, and a probability factor. A preconnection to the target URL's hostname is then initiated based on the probability factor. Next, a response from the request to the source URL is received, where the response includes a redirect URL. Finally, the preconnection is used to process the redirect URL when the redirect URL is similar to the target URL.

Reduction in redirect navigation latency via speculative preconnection

Embodiments of the present invention include methods and systems for domain name system (DNS) pre-caching. A method for DNS pre-caching is provided. The method includes receiving uniform resource locator (URL) hostnames for DNS pre-fetch resolution prior to a user hostname request for any of the URL hostnames. The method also includes making a DNS lookup call for at least one of the URL hostnames that are not cached by a DNS cache prior to the user hostname request. The method further includes discarding at least one IP address provided by a DNS resolver for the URL hostnames, wherein a resolution result for at least one of the URL hostnames is cached in the DNS cache in preparation for the user hostname request. A system for DNS pre-caching is provided. The system includes a renderer, an asynchronous DNS pre-fetcher and a hostname table.

Parallel, side-effect based DNS pre-caching

Methods, systems, and computer program products for cloud-based adaptive configuration and control of a network device include, detecting an access by a user through the network device to a cloud-based service; and responsive to the detected access, configuring the network device to be controlled by the user via a cloud-based configuration controller. Further implementations include, receiving a configuration request from the network device, wherein the configuration request includes access information pertaining to an access made by a user to a cloud-based service; determining a cloud-based identity of the user based upon the received access information; associating the cloud-based identity with an ownership identifier; forming one or more instructions to configure the network device with the ownership identifier as an owner of the network device; and transmitting the one or more instructions to the network device.

Adaptive ownership and cloud-based configuration and control of network devices

Communication applications may include lists of users with which a user of the application communicates. If two users of a communications application each include the other user on their user lists, an implicit trust may be established between the users. For example, if user A includes user B in her list and user B includes user A in his list, then it may be determined that each user knows and/or trusts the other user. As a result, a connection or communications pathway may be automatically created between the client devices of the users to facilitate communications between the users based on the implicit trust.

Implicit population of access control lists

A system and method is provided whereby more data packets than are necessary may be transmitted in order to prompt a node of network to more quickly increase the number of packets that will be accepted by the node. In one aspect, a single packet of data is split into multiple packets. In another aspect, a single packet of data is padded so that multiple packets need to be sent.
