It looks like Belkin has some new bedfellows; Software creator Carbonite has been caught committing review fraud by The New York Times' David Pogue. [NYT]

Well, their reviews should be frozen. In what, I don't know.
Carbonite? Those guys are great! Everything they sell is fantastic.
Alright, everyone, I'll buy the first round.
The New York Time's???
What is this New York Time of which you speak? Surely you don't mean the New York Times? If you did, then it would be "The New York Times's David Pogue."
What if carbonite uses carbonite to back up carbonite, and they are very pleased with their results?
Ya - take that.
@Bladefist: Except the people within Carbonite that use Carbonite to back up Carbonite are paid Carbonite employees, so it's clearly a purchased review instead of just a shill review.
Shucks, I think we're just dividing by zero.
Also, Carbonite Carbonite is Carbonite Carbonite with Carbonite.
Wow this is actually very upsetting. I love Carbonite but this isn't a positive light on things. :(
Well what do you expect from a company that advertises on Howard Stern? ;-)
They also advertise on Rush " pill popper " Limbaugh.
@nevets68: lol so? Rush has 20 million listeners. Who better to advertise on? That's more then most TV shows. More then any radio show?
You kids and your "logical" conclusions.
I've been using Carbonite for 2 years and it's been great, but this behavior makes me suspicious of them!
I'm a big fan of star/reviewbombing when companies attempt to defraud consumers in this manner.
@Squeezer99: Correction, then... "They also advertise on comedian Rush Limbaugh."
...thanks, Keith, just leave the money on the dresser.
