    Abstract: Methods, systems and storage media are disclosed for enhanced system boot processing that authenticates boot code based on biometric information of the user before loading the boot code to system memory. For at least some embodiments, the bio-metric authentication augments authentication of boot code based on a unique platform identifier. The enhanced boot code authentication occurs before loading of the operating system, and may be performed during a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) boot sequence. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to provide dynamic messaging services are disclosed. An example method of displaying information on a display screen includes determining, using a virtual machine manager, supported dimensions for display of information on the display screen; generating, using the virtual machine manager, restricted dimensions that are less than the supported dimensions; providing the restricted dimensions to an operating system of a virtual machine supported by the virtual machine manager, wherein the restricted dimensions define a boundary between a first screen portion and a second screen portion; and using the virtual machine manager to display first information in the first screen portion, the virtual machine manager enforcing the presence of the first screen portion on the display screen.

    Abstract: A first video messaging service, running on top of an operating system in a data processing system, automatically presents a first video message. After using the first video messaging service to present the first video message, the data processing system automatically determines whether the first video messaging service has become nonfunctional. In response to determining that the first video messaging service has become nonfunctional, the data processing system automatically uses a backup video messaging service to present a second video message. The backup video messaging service operates in a boot environment. In one embodiment, the data processing system is configured to provide digital signage, the first video messaging service presents content for the digital signage when the operating system is operational, and the second video messaging service presents content for the digital signage when the operating system is nonfunctional. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to provide dynamic messaging services are disclosed. An example method includes determining, in a pre-boot environment, supported dimensions for display of information on the display screen; generating, in the pre-boot environment, restricted dimensions that are less than the supported dimensions; providing the restricted dimensions to an operating system of a virtual machine supported by a virtual machine manager, wherein the restricted dimensions define a boundary between a first screen portion and a second screen portion; displaying first information in the first screen portion and displaying second information in the second screen portion; and preventing, via the virtual machine manager, elimination of the first screen portion from the display screen.
