Sex Sells For Drugstore.com Wow, DrugStore.com is selling sex to the mainstream. Well, you're never going to generate much surprise when you tell people that "sex sells". However, Drugstore.com is taking that concept to another level. After realizing that there was tremendous demand for the "sexual well being" products, they've now opened an entire site based on sexual well-being, in order to drive more sales. While they claim it's been done tastefully and carefully, other companies have had difficulty in the past with investors who shy away from any company that openly admits that sex sells.

finally got my new PB had to drive over to FedEx wednesday morning to get it... I don't know why I keep using my home address when I'm clearly not there to receive packages. Well, it's definitely a few steps up from my last machine: 800Mhz, 40Gb HD, larger screen rez, 512Mb RAM. It made a horrible sound when I first turned it on (in the CD bay area) and it seems to make a clicking sound whenever I (re)power up. But otherwise, all appears well. I got most of my home directory moved back, and now I'm fighting with iTunes to preserve my music library. Next up, a call to Apple to get a partial credit towards a new extended warranty. follow-up: the clicking sound has subsided, and I've almost got my setup back to normal. The bigger screen (higher resolution) is nice. Screen and disk space are just like garage space... it's always nice to get more, and then you fill it up right away! 11:46:32 AM
