Google’s latest project is called Web History, and it offers registered Google Account users a chance to peruse not just their account history with Google, but one’s surfing history. “Imagine being able to search over the full text of pages you’ve visited online and finding that one particular quote you remember reading somewhere months ago,” explains Google’s Payam Shodjai, product manager for Personalization. “Imagine always knowing exactly where you saw something online, like that priceless YouTube video of your friend attempting to perform dance moves from a bygone age. Better yet, imagine having this wealth of information work for you to make searching for new information easier and faster.”
The data is available only when the user logs on with a Google account and password, the same account used for other Google services such as Gmail. In order to track web surfing information, the user must have the Google Toolbar installed in their web browser, and have PageRank enabled. The Web History feature can be turned off and on as you like.

The slick slider has a touchscreen, a weather indicator, and Wi-Fi - not to mention it’s totally hot. Of course, anything this cool would have to be a concept, but one with an amazing twist: its designer, Andrew Kim, is just 15 years old. This kid’s in high school, for crying out loud, and he’s pulling off design concepts that would put the pros to shame, complete with detailed spec sheets.

You can take it with you to the gym, office, hiking, or any other activity and you’ll forget you are even wearing it save the fact that you’ll have CD quality sound playing in your ears.

Nike said last week that it plans to make its entire line of running shoes compatible with Apple Inc’s iPod nano line by the end of this year.

The segment overall was down, according to Boston.com, with some companies like Foot Locker Inc. and Finish Line Inc. suffering from slumping sales. Nike, however, said it is poised to make major changes in retail this year with the help of leading retail partners that will build strength. [full story]

Eighteen months after the release of Apple’s iPod video, Sony strikes back with its first digital video product: the NW-A800 series Walkman will hit Europe in April. Releases to other markets are expected, but timing is currently unknown. For Europe, there are three models: the NW-A805 (2GB), A806 (4GB), and A808 (8GB). The screen is a 2-inch LCD panel with QVGA resolution (240 pixels by 320 pixels). It has a portrait orientation, although videos can be viewed with the device either held vertically or horizontally. The NW-A805 is listed on Sony’s online store for €180 ($237), the NW-A806 for €230 and the NW-A808 for €300.
Audio playback in a number of flavors of Sony’s ATRAC compression is possible, and Sony supplies software for converting Windows Media Audio, MP3 and WAV files to ATRAC. It’s also possible to directly load MP3 files onto the Walkman, but battery life will be shorter. For video the Walkman plays back MPEG4 H.264/AVC encoded files. According to Sony’s figures, playback time on a fully-charged battery for audio is roughly 30 hours for ATRAC files encoded at 132Kbps while for video its seven hours for MPEG4 files encoded at 768Kbps. The 53-gram Walkman measures 44 millimeters wide by 88mm high and is 9mm thick.
