Apparently, us weird movie lovers are the only things keeping the company afloat (wild assumption). From the Wall Street Journal online:
"For a live demonstration before an audience of 500 people, Mr. Bezos once
logged onto Amazon.com to show how it caters to his interests. The top
recommendation it gave him? The DVD for 'Slave Girls From Beyond Infinity.'
That popped up because he had previously ordered 'Barbarella,' starring Jane
Fonda, a spokesman explains."
Here is the full article. It is about computer programs making assumptions on human behavior, like the Amazon.com recommends lists.
