<description><![CDATA[Amazon has spoken with some of the major record companies and Hollywood film studios about creating a digital locker service for their film and music libraries and could announce the plans as early as next week, sources told CNET. Sources from both the film and music industries said Amazon is working on creating a cloud locker service that would enable users to store their existing music, film, and book collections, even content not purchased at Amazon, on the company's servers. The online merchant has yet to obtain all the necessary licenses, but Amazon managers told counterparts at the studios and labels that it could announce the service before all the negotiations are complete, the sources said. An Amazon spokesperson wasn't immediately available for comment. Amazon is in a hurry to win the race to the cloud, according to the sources. It has been widely reported that both Apple and Google are busy preparing their own media locker services.

Entertainment and technology companies are betting big that consumers will be attracted to the ubiquitous access to digital media. No more clogged hard drives or forgetting to pack the DVD for the vacation trip. Amazon already has extensive experience with cloud services. Amazon stores electronic books on its servers for owners of the company's popular Kindle e-book reader. Kindle users can buy e-books from Amazon.com, download them to their devices from wherever they can access the Web, and Amazon will save the digital copy in the customer's digital locker. Another example is Amazon's Instant Video, where customers buy movies and TV shows and access them from Amazon's site anytime they want. Last month, Amazon said it would stream free of charge any one of 5,000 movies and TV shows to members of the company's Prime service. That one move sent shares of Netflix, the Web's top video-rental service, plummeting. The reason was simple. Wall Street analysts said Amazon has the retail experience and consumer reach to make a serious claim for cloud distribution. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The legal wrestling match between Microsoft and Motorola over intellectual property has heated up, with both sides tacking on extra patents to their existing lawsuits and complaints.Over at blog FOSS Patents, IP activist Florian Mueller has made a handy timeline of the two companies' legal dance, running from October of last year--when Microsoft first filed two legal complaints against Motorola--all the way to late February, when Microsoft managed to get the first of three suits in the state of Wisconsin moved to the Western District of Washington. During that span of four months, Motorola added two additional patents to one of its complaints, while Microsoft added seven extras across two of the Wisconsin suits. What were they On Microsoft's side, the company added five extra patents on January 19, one of which related to a handheld computing device with an external notification system, three that dealt with browser navigation, and one for file system management on flash memory. Less than a week later, Microsoft tacked on two additional patents in part of a counterclaim that addressed a loading animation in the Web browser of mobile devices, and user input data for computers with touch screens. Meanwhile, the extra patents on Motorola's side, which were added in February (as part of an amended complaint) dealt with biometric sensors, and an &quot;interactive wireless gaming system.&quot; This last one is of special interest given that Motorola does not currently make a gaming system that would compete head-to-head with Microsoft'sXbox. Motorola's answer to that, as unearthed in a court filing by Mueller, is that Motorola views its handsets running Google's Android as competing with Microsoft's gaming business. This includesWindows Phone 7, where Microsoft sells games in its application marketplace. That market is set to get a potential boost in growth as the first wave of CDMA Windows Phone 7 handsets hit, later joined by Nokia-made Windows Phones as part of Microsoft and Nokia's strategic partnership. Microsoft launched its original lawsuit at Motorola back in October, taking aim at Android. Along with that suit, Microsoft filed a complaint with the International Trade Commission. Microsoft then filed another complaint against the company's licensing fees. Motorola countersued two days later, saying Microsoft was infringing on 16 of its patents in products like Windows for servers, PCs, and mobile devices. The fallout from these suits and the other complaints could end up in a settlement or a licensing deal. The complaints with the ITC, on the other hand, seek to take things one step further and keep infringing products and services from going in and out of the U.S.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Sook Shin and Ralf Jankecht have posted flyers in pawn shops appealing for the return of their stolen laptop.(Credit:News 9)Today's &quot;Dude, you got to back up your data!&quot; public-service announcement comes courtesy of Sook Shin, a university researcher who says her stolen laptop contained years worth of data related to a possible cure for prostate cancer. And nope, you guessed it. She didn't back up and says some of her research can never be retrieved, while other parts could take up to two years to replicate.  Shin and husband Ralf Jankecht, a professor of cell biology at Oklahoma University, are leading cancer researchers at the school. Sunday, they made a quick stop in Oklahoma City on their way back to the lab, according to the local News 9. That's when someone smashed the window of their car and made off with a 13-inch white MacBook in a dark orange computer bag.  &quot;I'm devastated and I feel so guilty,&quot; a tearful Shin told News 9.  The pair is now offering a $1,000 reward for return of the computer, no questions asked. &quot;Thief, it is OK. Everybody makes mistakes,&quot; reads a flyer that's been posted in area pawn shops.  &quot;Please return the computer with the data saved,&quot; Jankecht said. &quot;This would tremendously help us and you would do something for society.&quot;  While most people who own a computer know they should regularly back up their data, surveys have shown that a surprising number rarely (or never) do. In this case, we can only hope for a story like that of the Swedish professor who had his laptop stolen and a week later received a USB drive holding all his data.  That thief, it appeared, took pity on the professor, backed up his information, and returned it to him. At which point, we hope, the professor backed it up a few more times over.  <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
