On January 25, Google released a new beta version of its Chrome browser to it’s Windows user base. The two most noticeable changes is that it now allows the use of extensions as well as a bookmark sync feature.

Extensions in Chrome are pretty nifty. They offer a one-click installation method and the browser doesn’t even need to be restarted for the changed to take place (are you taking notes Mozilla?). But this is nothing OS X and Linux users should be jealous of… since they got extensions back in December.

As many of you may know, Apple has officially announced that it will be holding a media even on the 27th days of this month. And as is customary with any Apple event…rumors are coming out of the woodworks.

To make your life a bit easier as THE BIG DAY grows near, here is a list of interesting rumors we’ve seen around the Interwebz related to this event:

The awesome twitter client with stunning eye candy and a sleek UI has just released version 2.1, which adds support to the newly added twitter features (new retweet and lists ) and a few goodies (geotaging, UI tweeks, etc). Now to wait for the desktop client to be updated

Oh, and keep reading for a full list of changes + screenshots.

The other day, CNN Money joined the Apple Rumor Mill and wrote an article about how the highly anticipated (but purely speculative) Apple ‘tablet’ is going to “lay waste to the markets for countless other gadgets“. Sorry CNN, but I must respectfully disagree and here is why.

This rumored “God-like portable device” is suppose to do it/have it all: 3G, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, music and video playback, built-in webcam, eBook reader, the ability to watch TV, play games, surf the web and tons of third party app for it – all of this on a high-res touch screen for no more than $1000. Sounds great, right?

Our colleagues over at TechCrunch are reporting that Google is holding a special event tomorrow (11/19) that revolves around its Chrome OS.

The plan is to give some technical background information as well as show off some demos, we’re told. More notably, they will be giving a “complete overview” of the new OS, which they say will launch next year. [src: TechChrunch]

Could we finally be getting some juicy details about Chrome OS? Tune back in tomorrow to find out.
