How soon we forget: webtv, iopener, audrey etc.

It’s not easy selling computers to people who don’t buy computers. WebTV was a lot cheaper than this, and sold very poorly, not because it wasn’t a good value but because it was targeted at people who don’t buy this stuff! At $400 + $13/mo, you not only have the “I’m just not interested” factor, but also the “are you kidding, I can’t afford that!” factor.

I just don’t understand why people keep trying these “basically it’s a crippled PC” business models. It’s been proven so many times that even with a decent product and huge marketing budget, they just don’t sell.

On related note, I’d like to share a little secret about the Philips Sonicare [sonicare.com] toothbrush. Now, anyone who’s used the Sonicare knows that this thing really does a fantastic job on teeth and gums. It’s got some seriously powerful, high frequency action. Well, it turns out that the slender angled neck is perfect not only for reaching those tricky back molars, but is also perfectly suited for navigating the details of the inner labia. WARNING: do not stampede for the clitoris! The Sonicare is just too powerful to go there without careful warming up. You should probably also steer clear of the bristly side at first. I strongly recommend enabling the 14-day EasyStart feature, which gradually ramps up the power as she becomes comfortable with it. Good luck!

Otherwise, that would be the uvula.
