INTERFACE FOR SMALL-SCREEN MEDIA PLAYBACK CONTROL

A media player (e.g., a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a television, etc.) may present a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes controls for interacting with a media file. The controls may include a play button, a pause button, and a progress bar with a marker designating the present point of playback (i.e., the current frame). The media player may enable user manipulation of the present point of playback, also referred to as media scrubbing, by moving the marker along the progress bar in response to user input dragging the marker along the progress bar. The GUI may be displayed on a screen of any size and shape (e.g., rectangular or non-rectangular). Displaying the GUI on a small or non-rectangular display, such as on a smart watch, may inhibit effective media scrubbing by making the progress bar too small for effective and/or accurate user interaction (e.g., smaller screens may result in a size of the progress bar becoming relatively small as compared to a size of a user’s finger). This disclosure provides techniques that enable effective and/or accurate media scrubbing on a small and/or non-rectangular display

The racial components of “race-neutral” crime policy attitudes

ABSTRACT While past studies find evidence of a connection between race and crime in the minds of many whites, several gaps remain in our knowledge of this association. We use a multi-method approach to examine more closely the racial component of whites' support for ostensibly race-neutral crime policies. First, using conventional correlational analysis, we show that negative stereotypes of African Americansspecifically, the belief that blacks are violent and lazy-are an important source of support for punitive policies such as the death penalty and increasing prison terms. Second, using a survey experiment, we show that negative evaluations of black prisoners are much more strongly tied to support for punitive policies than are evaluations of white prisoners. The findings from our multi-method approach suggest that when many whites think of punitive crime policies to deal with violent offenders they are thinking of black offenders. We conclude with a discussion of the implications of our findings for the intersection of race, crime, and political behavior
