** Description changed:

  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
  
  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 * popularity = importance, anyone?
+ quality (stars) * popularity (users) = importance (points), anyone?
