Timbuk2 Hemlock Backpack Gives You a Little Extra Room
Unlike most backpacks, the Hemlock from Timbuk2 doesn’t have a zipper and/or flap closure at the top.� The Hemlock backpack has a roll-top that expands to carry a couple of extra things or lets you compress your load by rolling it down tight.� Other than a padded laptop compartment, the interior is one, big, undivided [...]

Amazon Cloud Music apparently launched without record labels' blessing
My 75-gigabyte music dump to Amazon's new Cloud Drive music storage and playback service is chugging along quite nicely, so it's with a furrowed brow that I read that Amazon's apparently pissed off the music industry in the process.
See, apparently the music industry believes that Amazon needs a license to allow me to stream my music -- my (mostly) legally obtained music -- from its cloud to my devices. I can take said music and stream it from my laptop to my Xbox 360, or put it on a microSD card and pump it through a phone or six, or put it on a flash drive and play it in my car. But, apparently, Amazon needs a license. And apparently it didn't get one.
According to a Reuters story, the music industry has its knickers in a twist because Amazon went ahead and launched the service while still in talks for licensing fees -- something neither Google nor Apple has had the chutzpah to do. And you know what? Good for Amazon. The music industry has been killing itself far too slowly.
Of course, this could mean that Amazon's service could be shut down, or Amazon might have to pay out the wazoo, or we could all be forced to pay more for the storage space. (And I'm willing to bet Google's going to give more than 5GB free.) We'll just have to see. In the meantime, stream away, folks. Stream away. [Reuters/Yahoo via TiPb]

Hot New 'Color' App Lets You Stalk People Having More Fun Than You [Gawker]
Get a data protection and recovery bundle for just $25, proceeds go to Japanese Red Cross
If the great price wasn't sweet enough, 80% of all proceeds -- as in, 80% of your $25 -- will be donated to the Japanese Red Cross Society. In other words, you're paying $5 for software worth $160, and donating $20 to charity, to help the Japanese rebuild after the massive destruction caused by last week's earthquake and tsunami.
Almost as important, though, is that all three of the tools included in the bundle are top-notch. Paragon Backup & Recovery received top marks from Lee, and EASEUS Data Recovery is one of our go-to tools for scraping the last vestiges of data from dead drives. We haven't used Genie Timeline before, but it sounds pretty nifty -- it takes snapshots of your hard drive every 30 minutes and automatically backs up any changes. It even keeps revisions of your documents, just like Apple's new Time Machine and Versions in the upcoming OS X Lion.

Google Music being tested internally, beta soon?
One day soon, we may actually get to spend some hands-on time with the oft-delayed Google Music service.According to CNET, Google is currently testing the service internally. Unfortunately for the rest of us, until Google works out all the licensing details with the major record labels, there's not really any chance of us being able to set up our own cloud-based music lockers on Google servers.
We know that's what the aim is -- thanks to the sync functionality in the leaked Android Music app -- but without label consent Google Music still has the whiff of vaporware.
It sure would be nice to see things finalized so that we can start synchronizing our iTunes libraries with Google Music in the cloud, though...

Much Ado About Android Licensing and Headers
Those of us who have spent more than, say, five minutes in the Linux blogosphere know that there's pretty much never a dull moment around here. In case any further proof was needed, however, the past week or so has surely afforded it, courtesy of the never-ending quagmire of legal licensing. "Does Android have a copyright problem?" was the question that got posed on Slashdot last week.

Wifi-only Xoom gets its own root method
Root access is now available on the just-released Wifi-only Motorola Xoom, thanks to some enterprising XDA members. The rooting process involves using the Android SDK, as well as a fair amount of command-line wizardry, so it's certainly not for the feint-hearted. You'll also be on your own if something goes wrong, as rooting will almost certainly void your warranty.
Still, if you think the prospect of owning a rooted Honeycomb tablet is worth the risk of potentially owning a bricked Honeycomb tablet, then hit the source link to find a complete list of files, along with rooting instructions.
If you're interested in rooting your Verizon-branded Xoom, be sure to check our earlier post for instructions. [XDA]
