We just recently told you that Google would be holding a Chrome event come December 7th where many assumed they would be launching a netbook powered by the platform. However, at the time of that posting the event was only a rumor and Google had not said anything of the matter. Now, it seems that Google has officially come forth to let us know that they will in fact be holding a Chrome themed event come December 7th.

Of course, what exactly they will announce hasn’t been made official but we can only assume it will not only be the ChromeOS branded netbook, but also a Chrome app store.

We’ll be covering the event come December 7th so be sure to check back around then.

I remember when Apple promised a “big announcement”. It turned out it was the Beatles coming to iTunes, but people really want to put their music on the cloud.

All that is required to do is upload your library with up to 1GB of audio with a free Mougg account. From there, you can log in from a Web Browser to any OS to access and stream your content.

For all those Android users, you can get it as a free download from Android market and then an iOS coming soon.

Unlike the iPhone, the iPad is used in many households as a mobile computer that is used by many, if not all, members of a family. While many households have an iPhone per family member, it doesn’t seem nearly as common to have each person with a personal iPad. I don’t know whether it’s because of price, size, or a combination of both, but the iPad seems to be used as much more of a family device.

One thing that the iPad is sorely lacking is multiple user accounts. Having a family unit is great and all, but many want to have their own pictures in their photo collection, their own apps on their home screens, and their own websites in their favorites. Nobody has figured out solutions to the first two problems, but the third may have been solved by an innovative new app called Switch.

Switch, from Mechanical Teeth, offers users a browsing experience that lets each user their own password protected account. Each account gets its own history, bookmarks, and tabs, allowing each user to browse the web without everyone in the house knowing what they are doing. Of course, the inclusion of multiple accounts also allows personal iPad owners to switch between their own interests, giving you access to a work only account, a school only account, and a casual account for your few free moments.

Hopefully Switch will spark some interest into multiple user account development… enough to make Apple take notice. All the apps in the world are great, but if Apple would add some multi-user functionality to their next iOS update, the world would be a much better place (well… maybe just slightly better). In the meantime, be sure to pick up Switch from the App Store today.

Social networks are so popular these days that sites like Facebook are competing with Google for the most visited spot on the web . However this immense popularity would not have been possible had it not been for the plethora of ways to actually acess these networks. One of the most popular ways to keep tabs on social network is on the go as more and more mobile software developers jump on board.

If you’re an Android user and looking to get your social networking on while still being able to browse the web then perhaps you should check out Skyfire. It was just announce that the Skyfire mobile web browser for Android has been updated to version 3.0. One of the biggest features that the developers are touting with this new version of Skyfire is deep integration with Facebook.

This means that there will be a dedicated “Like” button allowing you to like literally every single page you access via Skyfire. Another unique feature is dubbed “Popular Content” which will search the Facebook ecosystem for the most popular news relating to your current browsing.

So again, Skyfire 3.0 is available to download now in the Android market. For more information, check out the above video demonstration.
