A computing device includes an operating system that manages an application and maintains threads relating thereto, where each thread has assigned attributes and the operating system executes each thread according to each attribute thereof. An interface process of the application receives a thread with a request for the application, sets an attribute of the request/thread to enforce a limitation within the application, and forwards the request/thread to the application for further processing in accordance with the limitation to produce a result. The interface process thereafter receives the same thread with the result from the application, resets the attribute of the result/thread to remove the limitation outside of the application, and forwards the result/thread for delivery to the requester. Thus, the interface process ensures by way of setting and resetting the attribute on the thread that the limitation on the application is satisfied.

Methods and systems provide for aggregating person-centric data from one or more data sources and for providing the aggregated data to a user via a computer-displayed user interface that is keyed on or otherwise associated with an identified name in electronically presented text or data. A name in the text or data of an electronic document is identified and is associated with a unique identification, such as an electronic mail address. The unique identification is used by a persona menu application to obtain person-centric data from a variety of data sources. Example data sources include electronic mail contact files, electronic mail and calendaring system free/busy status files, directories of person-centric data related to persons associated with a distributed computing network, and instant messaging files. A data structure is populated with the returned data. Upon user selection, a user interface containing aggregated data associated with the identified name is displayed to the user to provide the user helpful information and actions associated with the identified name.

The disclosed implementations can provide a state-based history based on capture, representation, and navigation of a user's exploratory interactions with a user interface of an application. States may be represented in a history board, and one or more states may form a path. As a user explores an application's user interface, the user may branch from a given path and/or return to a prior state. Displaying a visual indication of states and a relationship of those states within a given path to states in other paths, provides a much improved user experience.

The claimed subject matter includes techniques for scanning and processing three-dimensional (3D) objects. An example method includes scanning the 3D object to produce depth data. The method also includes generating, via a processor, a 3D progressive mesh from the depth data. The method further includes displaying the generation of the 3D progressive mesh in real-time.
