The ones that drive me nuts are the 5 star "I bought it for my husband for his birthday next week" kind of reviews.. If the product hasn't been used for at least a few days / weeks (dependant on the item), then it's

I actually avoid the reviews with photos as 99% of the time they end with "I got this product for my fair and unbiased appraisal" or somesuch. I've never quite got around to writing a browser plugin that excludes any review t

This seems to be good advice. Additionally, I've found that at the point of employment projects don't need to be more than an idea; as long as you get them included with the contract, a simple abstract of what is covered is enough

I believe that's cognitive coercion in action. Obviously none of us truly believes that `convenience === quality`.
