A method of magnifying text across a computer operating system platform, the method including the steps of loading a background text viewer process on a computer operating system, the background text viewer process having access to internal operating system messaging relating to text sent to a graphics display driver for presentation to an end-user on a GUI, drawing a text viewer on a portion of the GUI whereby the text viewer and a third party application that displays text are shown on the GUI concurrently, intercepting text originating from the third party application and sent to the graphics display driver, the interception performed by the background text viewer process, selecting a substring of intercepted text associated with an end-user focus on the third party application and displaying the substring on the text viewer according to end-user defined settings.

A method of rendering magnified pointing indicia including the steps of monitoring application program interface messaging and intercepting a call for a unique system pointer identifier. A stored collection of predefined vector shapes is accessed and from that a predefined vector shape from the collection is selected which is correlated to the current system pointer identifier. A convergence point may be established for maximum pointing indicia magnification in addition to a user-selectable desktop magnification level. The vector shape is scaled in synchronization with the desktop magnification level up to the convergence point whereby the vector shape is no longer scaled up once the convergence point is reached. The scaled vector shape is rasterized and displayed to an end user operating a computer.

A computer program for rendering a magnified graphic user interface (GUI) establishes a first magnification level for the graphic user interface and a second magnification level for a pointer. It displays the magnified GUI at the first magnification level and monitors application program interface messaging for a call for a system pointer identifier. It intercepts this call and scales the pointing indicia not to the magnification level of the GUI, but to the second magnification level for the pointer. The pointer is then displayed to an end user of the computer system at a magnification level that is different from the magnification level of the GUI. Thus, the invention provides for independent magnification of the graphic user interface from the mouse cursor or caret.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to monitor media presentations are disclosed. An example tangible computer readable storage medium includes instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to at least instrument media with monitoring instructions; provide the instrumented media to a media device via a hypertext transport secure protocol, the monitoring instructions to cause the media device to request a panelist identifier associated with the media device; detect a media event based on an action of the media device; determine media-identifying information based on the media event; and generate a record including the media-identifying information and the panelist identifier.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to monitor media presentations are disclosed. An example method includes extracting first network packet parameters from a first network packet received at a media device when retrieving a first encrypted web page, storing the first network packet parameters in association with identifying information for the first encrypted web page, extracting second network packet parameters from a second network packet received at the media device from an unknown encrypted web page, when the extension does not collect identifying information for the unknown encrypted web page, comparing the second network packet parameters to the first network packet parameters, and identifying the unknown encrypted web page as the first encrypted web page when the comparison of the second network packet parameters to the first network packet parameters has a similarity above a threshold.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to monitor media presentations are disclosed. An example method includes extracting first network packet parameters from a first network packet received at a media device when retrieving a first encrypted web page, storing, at the media device, the first network packet parameters in association with a uniform resource locator for the first encrypted web page, the uniform resource locator received from an extension in a web browser at the media device, extracting second network packet parameters from a second network packet received at the media device from an unknown encrypted web page, when the extension is inoperative, comparing the second network packet parameters to the first network packet parameters, and identifying the unknown encrypted web page as the first encrypted web page when the comparison of the second network packet to the first network packet parameters has a similarity above a threshold.
