It's called publicity: they have a product to "sell" to us.

It's wrong (in this case probably morally) but how do we stop everyone doing it :(

Say Apple hosted an online "poll" asking "Are our laptops the best? Yes/No/Probably" with a "see results so far" link. Would that be "publicity"? Or would it land them in the poo legally?

Look at the stats again. They are definitely not fixed.
