I was thinking it had to do with Sprint's Spark network and was also very confused!
sorry! This was a tricky title because I know the HN moderators like it to match the title in the link. However, the Forum title only makes sense in the context of the forum (where Particle is implied).
When the title isn't enough we sometimes use a heading or a bit of the leading paragraph. (I've done that here. Let me know if I got it wrong.) The main thing is to use language from the article itself, not make up one's own.
I like your title. Appreciate the explanation for future HN posting.
