This doesn't mention the reason that I quit looking at GAoTD - it wouldn't work on 64-bit Windows.

Living Room / Re: Amazon: clicking 'Unhelpful' on Customer Review now has NO effect

if the product you get is a knock-off, it is fair enough to review it as such

The net effect of this is that all Rolex watches will have crap reviews and ratings, since there's such a high proportion of counterfeits. At this point, reviews will stop having meaning for goods that are frequently copied.

I'm standing by my statement that you should only post reviews for the ACTUAL product posted. Anything else corrupts the information in the reviews.

A seller sold me a fake phone case a few months back

Why bother putting your fake phone in a case?  ;)

But seriously...
My review was rejected repeatedly till I removed the seller's identity.

This sounds like Amazon did the correct thing. A product review is a product review, NOT a seller review. The fact that a particular seller sent to you a counterfeit of a real product does not affect the goodness of the *real* product. I realize that you checked that nobody else is selling this product - just the bad guy. But what about tomorrow? The way Amazon models the data is that products are products, independent of the seller, but you're trying to record seller information there. Sure, you want to protect other people from being cheated, but there is (as you know) a place to review the seller themselves, and I imagine that people check this for anything that's not Prime (I know I do).

CryptoPrevent has grown into a robust solution, providing protection against a wide range of ransomware and other malware.

Interesting. I tried (and paid for!) WinAntiRansom, but am completely underwhelmed by it - since it only protects a single directory tree, it's not very useful for how I use my system. But I can't find any real info on CryptoPrevent to determine if it would be any better. Anybody have a link to more details?

Ha! I parsed the subject as related to the physical structure of the store building, not the assembly of the software. So I thought the idea would be to build a twisting maze of walkways, each labelled with non-readable text.
