how did this get 5 votes so quickly when almost everything else on the new page has a single vote? is this an example of "friends" voting together?

  Surely it could not have been genuine interest in the article, right?

    well, it could be, but it doesn't seem like the usual kind of link for here [edit: for example, when i posted, almost all comments - including one now deleted - were negative]. on the other hand, it seems that it's a popular user so perhaps people are simply interested. it's also possible that it got to the front page with just a couple of early votes and then took off (a post of my own just behaved as strangely, which has made me think that is likely). on the other hand, the pile of downvotes before anyone makes any kind of attempt to explain, tends to confirm the worst.

      The pile of downvotes is quite likely a stab at the naysayery you displayed in disregarding an interesting article under the ASSUMPTION that someone did not truthfully obtain their votes

        Actually, if you read his post, he's just asking if that happened or not.

  Obviously we are out to get you.

  Perhaps it's because it's not about the iPad.
