** Description changed:

- When many people install a software, it goes towards many people's 
objectives. 
- When people rate a software high, it does well what its author says that it 
does. 
+ steps to reproduce:
+ 1. launch Ubuntu Software Store
+ 2. by the right of Best Rated, there's a More button that shows you the top 
50 Best Rated apps in Ubuntu Software Store
  
- If a software doesn't go towards many people's objectives, but does what
- its author says that it does well, it appears on top.
+ expected results:
+ since many people are interested in using Firefox and few people are 
interested in using Renmina, Firefox should appear above Renmina
+ 
+ actual results:
+ although many people are interested in using Firefox and few people are 
interested in using Renmina, Firefox appears *way* below Renmina, in other 
words, Firefox isn't even a top 50 app, but Renmina is a top 10 app
+ 
+ comments:
+ Firefox browses the internet well, Renmina connects to remote desktops 
excellently
+ Firefox does what its author says that it does well, Renmina does what its 
author says that it does excellently
+ quality shows you how well an app does what the app's author says that the 
app does
+ 
+ many people are interested in using Firefox and few people are interested in 
using Renmina
+ popularity shows you how many people are interesting in using an app
+ 
+ if I create an app that does something that few people want to do, but
+ my app does that thing excellently, it will be a top 10 app like Renmina
+ is
+ 
+ quality (stars) * popularity (users) = importance (points), anyone?
