Actually the more telling thing is that it isn't "Ad blockers" it is "Privacy Enhancers" the only thing I've got running is Privacy Badger and Forbes won't let me in, so that is the end of my online relationship with Forbes.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but hacker news needs to take a lesson from what reddit is doing about this.

Did you hear that Austin?

Dell, ibm, Motorola, nvidia, amd, spiceworks, homeaway, capital factory, all you guys and girls.... Pack your shit.

Forbes has spoken.

True that. I do not want to live in a city where I cant access Uber with the same ease as my current city.
