Maybe you use Google Chrome as your primary browser (which I did) and have dozens of tabs open. Now, Chrome has a new feature which will remember your tabs when you quit the app. It is useful when you want to open the same tabs on another machine in a quick and simple way.  The feature will be available in the new Chrome version 19. Until now, the only Chrome version for mobile can be found on Android, but the iPhone version is rumored to be on the pipeline.

Even more, the feature will remember your browsing history on the other device. It means that the back and forward button will still working on your new machine.

For your information the tabs syncing feature is the latest syncing ability from Chrome. Previously, they sync your bookmarks and sign-in information for a while. Firefox also has a similar feature to sync tabs. Internet Explorer will get this feature on the upcoming Windows 8.

In order to sync your tabs, just sign in to your Google account. Google said that you will be able to see the option to resume your tabs from the machine when you open a blank tab.

Soon, Twitter will email you a weekly digest from your feed. The email includes tweets and links which seems to be important for you based on what the people who you follow share. It also include the most interesting tweets and stories those people saw on their feeds if they favorite or retweet them.

A Twitter blog post on Monday explained, “Stories feature a design similar to the recently updated Discover tab, emphasizing who shared each story beneath summaries to help you decide which one is the most important for you. Just click any headline to completely read the story, add your take by tweeting directly from email, and see related Tweets from people you follow.”

This seems to be the light for the previous mysterious act from Twitter who hired the team behind RestEngine, an email marketing provider. Beside that, Twitter acquired a startup called Summify earlier this year. This startup is offering a similar product like this email digests. Email digest will be delivered to everyone in the next few weeks.

Apple is rumored t to release the iPhone 5 later this year, with an expected announcement on June around Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC). Based on the latest rumors about the phone and what we might expect, an artist Jon Fawcett has created some concept pictures about what he thinks Apple’s latest handset will be when it hits the store.

The previous rumor said that the next iPhone will be created from LiquidMetal. It is a combination of some metals which will allow the phone to be more durable. It will be light like a plastic, but durable like aluminum. Fawcett’s concept phone is only 7 mm thick with 4 inch widescreen multitouch display. The phone has 5 megapixels front facing camera and 10 megapixels on the back camera.

However, Fawcett is not anywhere near Apple and doesn’t really know about the newest version of the phone. However, he published the pictures which are really impressive, allowing us to play with our imagination about what we will see in the store.

Beside the appearance, the newest iPhone is also rumored to have better specs under the hood such as a better processor and NFC ability.

Want to have an easier way to tag your friends? New facial recognition app Klik has launched its beta version on Thursday. Just download the iPhone app and be ready to snap a picture of your friends and family. You don’t even have to click the button to take a picture, the app will automatically recognize your friends’ faces.

Klik is an app to identify your friends’ face if they’re on Facebook and tells you who are they. If the app makes a wrong guess, you can simply put the right name from your Facebook contacts. Beside that, the creator said that the app will get smarter over time and will be better at identifying faces the more you use it.

In order to familiarize the app’s facial recognition system, you only need to connect the app tou your Facebook account. After that, the app will analyze each face on your photos and remember the name associated with each tag, which may take up to a whole day. Klik was developed a facial recognition software company, Face.com. The app is currently available for free in the app store for iOS 4.3 or above.

Facebook is getting more and more similar to Apple and Google. The company said on Tuesday that they are building their own app center. Of course it will allow paid apps for the first time. Until now, users are searching games in the same bar they use to find people, events, and groups. In the coming weeks, you will be able to search from your dashboard just like on Apple’s App Store and Google Play.

Although the new app center seems similar with Apple and Google version, Facebook claims that it will in a different way. As there are many Facebook apps are actually Apple or Google app with Facebook integration, it will redirect you to other app stores to download it.

Facebook engineer Aaron Brady said in a blog post, “The App Center is designed to grow mobile apps that use Facebook – whether they are iOS, Android, or mobile web.”

Facebook also introduced paid apps on Facebook.com in Wednesday. Apps like Zynga games are still free until now. However for Zynga, the free status doesn’t stop them from getting revenue via in-app purchases and advertisers.
