An energy efficient cryocooler is disclosed that cools a large area with multiple cooling temperatures on multiple cooled area working in parallel for the maximum cryogenic cooling and "over-clocking" of microprocessors and computer components using liquid and/or gaseous refrigerants in phase change. A cryogenic cooling system provides simultaneous steady stream (or pulse) cryocooling of a computer components with each part of the computer system receiving cooling at it's optimum temperature. The system comprises an evaporator with liquid and gaseous refrigerant which evaporator is placed onto the microprocessor to disperse heat from said microprocessor and a enclosure around the cooled system that cools all other components in one stage. The use of the invented cryocooling system resulted in the increase 2.4 GHz "Celeron D" microprocessor frequency to 4.78 GHz. The RAM was also overclocked to 60 MHz above normal on a test system. The cryogenic cooling system is cost effective and energy effective in power and refrigerant consumption.

A user interface is composed using methods and systems that allow modifying or re-using existing user interfaces, or creating new user interfaces. In providing for such interfaces, context-sensitive or context specific attributes that are associated with a particular user, user groups, and/or application(s) are used as the basis of composition. This allows for the dynamic creation of user interfaces based upon the situation.

Techniques are provided for maintaining the visibility of a priority page in the background of a software application window while simultaneously displaying unrelated content from a content tab. The content displayed in the content tab can be obtained from a web page. A user can resize or minimize the content tab, but the background priority page is always visible in the window. The priority page can be a friends lists displayed in the background of an instant messenger application. Content from a content tab is simultaneously displayed in the instant messenger window with the friends list.

A system and method for providing a distributed software application is disclosed. The application includes multiple browser window components that run together within a single browser window. Each component manages and displays data independently, so that a series of Internet pages can be simultaneously displayed and manipulated by a user. In one embodiment, an electronic main page is downloaded from a server to a client computer, wherein the main page comprises at least two browser components for displaying additional electronic pages within the main page. The main page includes a user selectable software control for selection of one of the at least two browser components for display.

The present invention provides a general solution to presenting media interface and navigation tools for content provided from a plurality of sources. The invention maintains a user at a single site regardless of the source of the media content. This permits a consistent interface to be presented to the user. Because the user remains at the same site, differences in tiered membership may be tracked so that the user is only presented with content that the user is permitted to view. The invention uses a metadata language to characterize content so that viewer type, membership level, and other information can be maintained and used for an enjoyable viewing experience.
