...busiest e-commerce sites, a list that also includes eBay and Amazon. Every day 82,000 DVDs roll through the conveyor belts of Netflix's headquarters in Los Gatos, Calif., and its hubs in Boston and Los Angeles. Last week, as Hastings filed with the sec to take his company public and dreamed of raising a cool $115 million, there was only one thing that could spoil his party: the possibility that Blockbuster might soon adopt his business model...
Most digital cameras have daunting dials and pictographs to "help" you use your camera. Select the wrong icon, and instead of viewing the picture you just took, you shoot a 15-sec. movie of your feet. The Coolpix forgoes dials for a simple slider with only three settings: TAKE PICTURE, VIEW PICTURE and OFF. You can even navigate by touch, ideal for those grizzly-on-the-run situations. All the other functions are on the back, including that 15-sec. video, an unprecedented 12 scene modes (party portrait, night landscape, fireworks show and so on) and a picture-in-picture...
Hughes and coach Robin Wagner made critical adjustments to her program away from the Olympic bustle, in Colorado Springs, during the week before the competition.

Hughes' comfort with the program showed in her confident execution of element after element. Her seemingly hopeless fourth-place position in the short program helped free her to skate with abandon...
...songs, If the Good Lord's Willin' (and the Creeks Don't Rise), is adapted from his dad's old lyric sheets. The way Hank Jr. tries to generate excitement is also foursquare--he relies more on blazing guitar riffs than ingenious melodies. There's more bombast on 30 sec. of Almeria Club's final track, America Will Survive, than on the whole of his son's Lovesick, Broke and Driftin'. Almeria Club is mostly standard contemporary country, with the rock and pop influences that have become a given in that genre...
...build a smaller camera, Minolta's new DiMage X ($399) is the current flyweight champ. It's the size of a deck of cards, weighs in at just 4.8 oz., stands about 3 in. tall but takes relatively hefty 2-megapixel pictures. It can also shoot a 35-sec. movie and comes with a 168-MB media storage card that holds a whopping 130 images. It's the perfect pocket partner for big shots...
