Apparently people who use Internet Explorer have lower IQ's then those who use other browsers.

People who use IE probably don't know or haven't tried other browsers.
Or it's just those people who don't know the difference between a website, a browser and the internet.

A person non-intelligent about computers might use IE, while a experienced keyboard turner will never use IE. its not really an IQ thing.

Yeah this thing is bullshit in it's most pure form.
The browser type you use is just a matter of preference and experience. I use it and it works just fine, I have never tried anything else.
F.Y.I. my IQ is borderline genius, and when you factor in the margin for error you find that I'm either highly gifted or genius.

The majority of people that still use IE are probably just too stubborn to realize that there are better things than what they're using.

Welcome to my brother.

I'm pretty sure the ones calling people who use IE borderline retarded are the retards. My IQ is probably higher than most of you that say it. I use IE because I really don't give a shit about what browser I use. What retard implies someone IS retarded off of what browser they use? Does it matter? Derp.

art thine furious?

EDIT:
I bet I know more about computers than you any day, not saying I know much, but you're CLEARLY not near the top of the scale. Maybe instead of making bullshit reasons why people use IE, just realize most people use IE because the browser they use doesn't really matter to them as long as it works.
...
Don't take is so seriously :/.


I don't know if you read OP... but the whole thing of people using IE generally having a lower IQ than people who use other browsers was a whole hoax probably just to discourage people from using IE.

I just suggest google chrome to other people, if they don't want to and want to stick with IE, let them.

It's their choice, and just because they use it, doesn't mean they are retarded.

Congradulations!

They have trolled you... and the rest of the national news agencies.


Apparently the firm that did the study is fraudulent http://www.cnn.com/2011/TECH/web/08/03/explorer.report.faked/index.html?hpt=te_bn6. (http://www.cnn.com/2011/TECH/web/08/03/explorer.report.faked/index.html?hpt=te_bn6.)
They claimed to have been created 5 years ago, however they just registered their company 1 month ago.


Yet another prime example of the mass media latching onto a disreputable source.

At least they called themselves out on the mistake.
