Title: Is this marketing or what?
Post by: KnacK on March 29, 2009, 07:41:27 AM

I have a need to remotely turn a piece of equipment on and off from about 150 feet. I figure " I'll just get some X10 gear and play with that".  This is for the house, not the office.

So.....

http://www.x10.com I go to look at products.

The first thing I see on their HOME page is this:

And 11 more images just like it.

I'm all for gawking at attractive women, but this is a business web site. Not very impressed with their marketing.

wow, the x10 site now looks like a bunch of popup windows grouped together. Its  sad, since they have such a good product line, and will likely turn off a bunch of business.

Yea, I wouldn't trust my credit card info with a site like that.

I thought x10 made those hidden web cams that used to have popup advertisements all over the Internet.
