Internet Explorer users have lower IQs: study

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Internet Explorer have a lower IQ that people who chose other browsers appears to have been an elaborate hoax.

A number of media organisations, including the BBC, reported on the research, put out by Canadian firm ApTiquant.

It later emerged that the company's website was only recently set up and staff images were copied from a legitimate business in Paris.

It is unclear who was behind the stunt.

The story was reported by many high profile organisations including CNN, the Daily Mail, the Telegraph and Forbes.

The title of that piece does, but if you look at the last page (conclusion) you will see they gave Chrome the heads up over the rest of the browsers. But ya, that title is deceiving imo.

From the conclusion:

"Not only does IE9 manage to beat previous WBGP champions Opera and Chrome with regard to performance, but it also succeeds in strutting its stuff in efficiency and standards compliance. IE9 is the clear winner of Web Browser Grand Prix 3, and we at Tom's Hardware approve of Microsoft Internet Explorer 9."

I looked at the date on that review...I remember last years when Chrome got the nod and I didn't know they did another one this year. IE9 for crying out loud? Someone at Toms is smoking the good stuff if they think IE9 is a winner.
