Simply horrible noise.

I would love HN provided a way for one to click "forever more ignore the votes of everyone who voted this nonsense up" for such prattle.

This particular article (not by Forbes, it should be mentioned. This is yet another contributor article, which is effectively the everyman blog platform that Forbes uses to piss all of their credibility away, yet it is surprisingly effective at getting to the front page of HN) is a sea of link farming, and is one of the most egregious example I've yet seen (many of the seeming citations go to absolutely nothing of the sort. It is just dozens of links to Hipmob).

Oh but iOS users buy more tea, so there's that. What?
