Ever sat at a ball game and wished you could see a quick repeat of that awesome play you just saw? Bushnell's Instant Replay binoculars ($600) let you do exactly that. As you peer through the lens, you can push a shutter button to capture up to 30 sec. of continuous footage. Then you can watch the video on a 2-in. LCD screen that flips open on top. The 16-MB CompactFlash card that comes with the glasses stores up to 2.5 min. of video or 150 still images. Want to give your friends a peek? Hook...

The judges had praised London, 25, as polished, if a little safe. Trias, a sweet, button-cute 17year-old from Hawaii who looks as if she were drawn by Disney animators, hit several off notes (in Idolese, she was "pitchy") and the judges pummeled her. She had been so sure she was gone that she brought the producers a basket of macadamia nuts and chocolate as a goodbye gift. Instead...
