A method of allocating data to a storage block included in a storage network may include determining a plurality of characteristics associated with a storage block included in a storage network. The plurality of characteristics may include storage capacity of the storage block, available storage space of the storage block, likelihood of loss of data stored on the storage block, availability of the storage block with respect to the storage network, and use of the storage block. The method may further include allocating data to the storage block based on the plurality of characteristics.

Storage network data distribution

Embodiments described herein include systems and methods for automatically creating compilation videos from an original video based on metadata associated with the original video. For example, a method for creating a compilation video may include determining a relevance score for video frames in an original video; selecting a plurality of relevant video frames from the original video based on the relevance score; selecting a plurality of video clips from the original video based on the relevance scores of the video frames; and creating a compilation video from the plurality of video clips. Each of the plurality of video clips, for example, may include at least one relevant video frame from the plurality of relevant video frames.

Automatic generation of compilation videos from an original video based on metadata associated with the original video

Systems and methods are disclosed to retrieve a first plurality of images from a local storage location at an electronic device; display each image of the first plurality of images on a display of the electronic device with a first transition between consecutively displayed images of the first plurality of images; receive a second plurality of images from a remote storage location through a communication interface of the electronic device; and display each image of the second plurality of images on the display of the electronic device with a second transition between consecutively displayed images of the second plurality of images, wherein the second transition is different than the first transition.

A device for providing user input to a computer includes a base member with a tracking sensor for detecting motion of the base member and a vertical grip member that extends upward from the base member. A scroll wheel is rotatably mounted in the grip member and oriented so as to be rotatable by a substantially arc-like movement of a thumb of a hand holding the grip member.
