|APPLICATION VIEW REGION - A minimized view of an application is provided, in one embodiment, from an application or window control region. The minimized view of a first application can include controls (e.g., commands such as a play button or command and a pause button or command) that are available when a first window of the first application is the front most window. The minimized view can be invoked and receive and respond to user inputs on the controls even when a second application's window is the front most window.
|INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, WINDOW DISPLAY METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM TO STORE DISPLAY CONTROL PROGRAM - The information processing apparatus which performs multi-window display control includes a window change unit
|DISPLAY DEVICE FOR EXECUTING MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - A method for controlling a display device that executes multiple applications and has a touch screen is provided. The control method includes displaying multiple windows for executing the multiple applications on the touch screen based on a display level of each of the windows, receiving a top-level display command for one of the multiple windows, fixing, as a top level, a display level of a top-level display window for which the top-level display command is received, and displaying the top-level display window in a level higher than the other windows.
|Viewing lower priority windows (e.g., overlapped windows)
|System and Method for Identifying Words Based on a Sequence of Keyboard Events - A system, a computer readable storage medium including instructions, and computer-implemented method for displaying at least one word based on a sequence of keyboard events. A sequence of keyboard events representing keystrokes is received. The sequence of keyboard events is processed by: accessing and traversing nodes of a trie data structure in accordance with the sequence of keyboard events and upon arriving at a word node of the trie data structure, identifying one or more corresponding words to be displayed, and displaying at least one word of the one or more corresponding words to be displayed.
|SYSTEM AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM FOR ORDERING ON-SCREEN WINDOWS FOR DISPLAY FIELD OF THE INVENTION - A system for ordering on-screen windows for display is disclosed in which an active window partially overlaps an inactive window and hides a portion of the inactive window. The movement of a mouse pointer is monitored to determine its location on the screen. In response to the inactive window being selected with the mouse pointer, the inactive window is given focus to enable the inactive window to receive event signals even though a portion of the inactive window remains hidden, whereby original display depths of the windows is maintained.
|MULTI-RESOLUTION THREE-DIMENSIONAL ENVIRONMENT DISPLAY - A computer manages display of objects having different resolution values in a coordinated multi-player game process. One or more servers and client applications operate cooperatively to manage and display various different resolution areas representing output from the unitary game process. The server receives input data from a plurality of clients and outputs game state data to participating clients. One or more objects in the game environment may be designated for display at different resolutions than other objects in the game environment. Alternatively, objects appearing within a defined screen area may be displayed at a different resolution from whatever does not appear within the defined screen area. One or more servers transmit data to the participating client defining different display resolutions for different objects or screen areas. The game environment may be configured with transparent areas to reveal a window of the objects having different display resolution underneath.

Sprint eliminating 800 customer-service jobsAugust 27, 2013 @ 12:51 pm
NEW YORK (AP) - Sprint is eliminating about 800 customer service jobs because fewer people are calling its centers, the company said Tuesday. With growth in other parts of the business, however, Sprint said it expects the company's work force to remain at about 40,000.
Sprint Corp. said most of the affected workers were notified last Thursday. Others will be told next month after Sprint figures out which additional positions will be cut. The company said the cuts are at various locations across the country.
Sprint's headquarters are in Overland Park, Kan. Last month, Japanese investment firm SoftBank Corp. completed a $21.6 billion investment in Sprint, giving it a 78 percent stake in the third-largest U.S. wireless carrier.
Sprint said its efforts to increase customer satisfaction helped to reduce the number of calls for customer service. According to the latest American Customer Satisfaction Index, Sprint had a 71 rating out of 100. That was unchanged from last year, but an improvement from its low of 56 in 2008. Verizon Wireless was at 73, AT&T at 70 and T-Mobile at 68 this year.
"As customer satisfaction improves and in turn calls to customer care decrease, our staffing needs in this area decrease," Sprint said in a statement. "This organizational action keeps our costs in line with these efficiencies."
Growth areas include positions at its retail stores, Sprint said.
Sprint's stock fell 18 cents, or 2.6 percent, to $6.73 in afternoon trading Tuesday.

We have to do better so we can be safe.
It's clear you never read any of my posts. The FBI doesn't have the resources to watch every person they receive info on. This is a FACT. The must prioritize their information. This is a FACT.
I am simply suggesting that, given how much intel they receive, it's likely they didn't trust intel from a nation who is not friendly to us about a people they don't like more than, you know, the intel they themselves obtained. They also were not able to get any more specifics from the foreign country after they conducted their investigation.
At what point do we stop trustin our intelligence in favor of another country's? I don't care if England gives us intel on a guy, if WE investigate, and WE find nothing, and then we ask for more specifics and they can't give us any? Sorry, we don't have the time, money or people to conduct that kind of surveillance. That is, unless you're willing to have your taxes raised to pay for the huge logistical and technological overhaul it would take to keep up that kind of thing.
Now I'm all for an investigation, like I said, but you're acting like you're automatically assuming they were at fault. If you knew anything about the region, you wouldn't be saying these things.

After a month going by and no new mag in the mail, I decided to track the problem down. Here I am, dumb founded that linux journal decided to go digital.
Needless to say, I am unhappy. I use the computer everyday for my job and the last thing I want to do is stare at the screen more when I come home to relax and catch up on Linux.
In any case, I gave your web site a spin and my first impression is that a amateur put it together. Ads are over dominating, nothing is easy to find, and its way to busy (meaning stuff is jumping out at me all over the place). Go figure I cant seem to find where to get a refund and unsubscribe.
I would have paid more to get the print edition. Maybe condense the material and make the print quarterly.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.
