Nobody has been anti-SB in this forum, that's the point - interesting link though. I see in the link that we have the cnet must have gadgets, as judged by...well, them really. They appear to be in no particular order whatsoever. If you read closely, they're alphabetical. I've been comparing the "cnet" score with the "user" score. Asus Eee PC - cnet: 7.3/10 User: 9.0/10 HP 2133 PC - cnet: 7.5/10 User: 6.9/10 LG Voyager - cnet: 8.3/10 User: 7.5/10 Logitech Harmony One - cnet: 8.7/10 User: 8.7/10 Logitech SB Duet - cnet: 8.7/10 User: 6.4/10 Wii - cnet: 8.0/10 User: 8.2/10 Nokia N95: cnet: 8.0/10 User: 8.5/10 Slingbox AV cnet: 8.0/10 User 7.6/10 Sony NWZ-A818 cnet: 8.0/10 User: 8.5 Sony Walkman cnet8.0/10 User: No reviews Throughout these score, it's fair to say that cnet were pretty close to the user rating, except with the Duet which scored significantly less. Looking at the individual scores for the Duet, we see: 9, 9, 4, 4, 9, 4, 6, 3, 8, 8, 6 That's some serious variation. Comparitively, the Sonos Bundle 130 also scored an 8.7 with cnet...yet strangely no mention in the Top 10. The Sonos bundle also carries a user review variation, with some strangely low scores, yet still manages an 8.3/10 from the readers...again almost on a par with the cnet scores. I'm not going to draw any conclusions from all this, but it is very weird that 2 products can have the same score yet the one with the highest overall rating doesn't make the Top 10. -- jaffacake Ben - eco conscious techie and author of Jaffa's Green Blog - http://www.jaffacake.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jaffacake's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3206 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47333 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
