The subways of Chicago will having be having 4G LTE services soon. All four major wireless carriers in the United States -- AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless -- are working together to roll out a $32.5 million LTE upgrade to the Chicago subways. That will include 22 miles of subway tunnels under the Windy City.

If you want to know what is trending right now in this very minute, heading to Twitter would be the wise thing to do.

It appears that Microsoft really is making an effort to become a wireless ecosystem player instead of being a love-your-own type of company. Microsoft has just released a suite of mobile apps under its MSN brand name that will run on Android, iOS, and even Amazon handsets.
These apps were originally developed under the Bing label, and were intended to used for mobile devices that run on either Windows Phone or Windows 8. Now, Microsoft is offering them for free to Android, iOS, and Amazon users.
It is now official. Instagram has just surpassed Twitter in terms of the number of users per month. About nine months ago, Instagram had already hit 200 million users. And right before the year ends, the photo sharing app manages to hit 300 million users every month. This makes Instagram bigger than Twitter, which as of six weeks ago, managed to rack up 284 million users. Interestingly, 70 percent of all Instagram users come from outside the United States, which just reflects the popularity of the photo sharing app worldwide.
Google has announced that it is currently busy developing child-safe versions of its search engine as well as its most popular products like the Chrome web browser and YouTube.
In all these years, one has to wonder: how come Firefox is not on iOS devices? Well, the wondering may stop soon because Mozilla is planning to bring its web browser to Apple mobile devices.
iOS users are among the most active Internet surfers in the planet, so bringing Firefox to iPhones and iPads should have happened already. So what gives? The answer is simple: Apple's own mobile web browser Safari.
