A computing device has an energy storage device system with multiple energy storage devices. Various different criteria are used to determine which one or more of the multiple energy storage devices to charge or discharge at any given time to provide power to the computing device. The criteria can include characteristics of the energy storage devices as well as hardware and/or physical characteristics of the computing device, characteristics of the energy storage devices and/or the computing device that change while the computing device operates, and predicted behavior or usage of the computing device. These criteria are evaluated during operation of the computing device, and the appropriate energy storage device(s) from which to draw power or to charge at any given time based on these criteria are determined.

Systems and methods are described for authenticating parties who communicate via unauthenticated channels. A user authentication verification service receives a request to confirm the identity of a party who communicates via an unauthenticated channel. The user authentication verification service may identify a computing device associated with the claimed user identity, and may determine that the computing device (or an application installed on the computing device) can be used to authenticate the user. The user authentication verification service may thus transmit a push notification or other request to the computing device to request authentication from the user that the party claims to be or represent. The user authentication verification service may then receive information from the computing device, confirm that the information authenticates that the party is the user (or is acting on behalf of the user), and authorize communication via the unauthenticated channel.

A method and system for automatically displaying content of a window on a display that has changed orientation is described. The content of a window, such as a dialog box, that has been authored for a particular size is repositioned and resized such that the window is viewable in its entirety when the display screen orientation is changed (e.g., from portrait to landscape.) A scroll bar is added to allow full access to content that is not visible within the display screen when necessary. Likewise, the scrollbar is removed when the scrollbar is no longer necessary in the new orientation. The repositioning and resizing of the window, as well as the addition or removal of the scrollbar occurs without interruption of other operating system applications.
