Offtopic, but I hate this trend of articles titled 'How to..." where the article don't actually tell you how to do anything. It seems like there have been a lot of these articles lately. Is it an SEO thing?

Another noiseword title I've learned to avoid is, "What we learned from..."

I like your phrase 'noiseword', as it sums up a lot of the internet in the last few months. Sites like eHow and other content farms are destroying search IMO by constantly producing homogenized 'how to' articles with no real content.

Sort of like filling up on bread. It very well may be an SEO thing.
