    Internet Explorer Users Have Below-Average IQ

     
    As determined by a "psychometric consulting" firm called AptiQuant.

    PC World reports that a "psychometric consulting" firm called AptiQuant gave free online IQ tests to 100,000 people, and then plotted the scores against the browser on which the tests were taken.
    It found that Internet Explorer users scored lower than average, while Chrome, Firefox and Safari users were very slightly above average. Camino, Opera and Internet Explorer with Chrome Frame were scored "exceptionally" high.
    IE 6 users scored lowest, which explains perfectly why we use it where I work.

    How the hoax was perpetrated

    So how does a fake news story like this get spread around so easily? The rapid online news cycle and pressure for writers to chase pageviews are at least partially to blame, former ReadWriteWeb writer Frederic Lardinois wrote on Silicon Filter.

    Yeah, I believe the media is nothing but a bunch of hype eating loons anymore. The media is a joke!
