Now this is a capitalist. This guy is what happens when you make it easy for someone to go make a new-and-improved product.
Now that he's on the news the patent trolls will get to him. Wait and see...

If you think a review is bogus you could always click the "no" button to indicate that the review is not helpful. You can also report the review and tell Amazon that you think the review is bogus. Do you have any data to back up the claim that most of the recent reviews are bogus?
Yeah, all the ones that start with "I received the complimentary product" in some form. That's a bogus review, it's paid. You might argue free product is not payment but the IRS would then like to have a word with you (ask the people who got "free" cars from Oprah).
Amazon also gives free products for review (Amazon Vine) but these are made very clear with a banner above the review, and will remain part of the program so long as they continue to receive a high number of 'helpful' votes on their reviews.

Does it bother anyone else that the three customer reviews on the product page all give five stars, and all three reviewers received the product for free in exchange for an 'unbiased' review? (And that fact is only visible if you click each 'see more' link at the end of the truncated review). I just have a hard time believing this practice doesn't create bias, even if unintentional. I'm finding I have to work harder…
Completely ignore amazon reviews. They are mostly bogus these days. Unless you can find 3 star reviews, I usually read those.
Most people don't put any effort into writing a positive review for a product that does what its suppose todo or exceeds expectations.
I than take all the negative reviews and see the common reason for the product failure than determine if that is a concern for me ,before buying.

Jews stick together. One of reasons for their resilience and business success. Unsurprising he brought a lot of his own in on the business. They do that in upper-ranks in my area, too. Now, you probably won't see the media report on racist hiring practices in Jewish companies as quickly as they do anti-Semitism. ;)
I don't think it's a racist hiring practice, it's religious nepotism. Mormons and scientologists often stick together in the same way (and really probably any small group of people very closely connected; immigrants often initially do the same thing in a new country as well).

Let's be specific. Orthodox Jews. It's basically an society-accepted fanatical cult. I bet none of those 150 were women, they wouldn't be tolerated to work together, or pray together, etc.

Can you clarify this statement? It's not clear to me that this business model necessarily violates patents. It seems like they're just taking already well-established products and tweaking them. Then they're applying marketing techniques to get to the top of Amazon and Ebay searches...

That having been said, patent trolls don't really use patent infringement, but the threat of an infringement suit. They send threatening letters and wait for their target to realize that the court battle costs more than paying the fee.

Note that the most helpful review is someone who did not buy one. Same with the second. And the third. > Sample provided for review. > Got this at no cost for unbiased review. > *I received a sample product from Ivation. Reviews are much more scattered if you filter by "Verified purchase only". It's interesting that this drops the number of reviews from 165 to 104 for a product which is designed for and presumably so…
EDIT: downvoters, care to explain what's wrong with this comment?
