149 reviews without even trying it

Yesterday, on the Future Shop web site, Macbook Air had received 149 reviews, with an average rating of 2.7 out of 5.0. The funny thing: Apple only started shipping it last night. :)

    The flaw with FS’s rating system is one can rate products even if they have not bought them, and ironically, there is no apparatus for people who have actually purchased the item to easily jump to the product listing and make a an earnest review.

    Therefore, no one ever rates the fridges or washers, but there are dozens of emotional entreaties on the fanboy favourites (Apple products, videogames, game consoles, etc).

    Another overhyped crap from Apple.
