...Though it took seven years to collect their permission, Helfrich says only 10% of the women refused (and the one he couldn't track down he threw in anyway).

That money was a magnet for executives of boring old-economy companies...

And he may emerge as the biggest beneficiary, even though Amazon, which attracts more than 17 million customers a month, has yet to earn a penny of profit (one reason its shares closed at $67.56 last week, down from their peak of $113 in December...
