Turns out that this was a hoax so my apologies for unintentionally leading you astray (no matter how much you wanted to believe!) The sad thing is, that professionally trained 'journalists' from the BBC and CNN fell for it too! Excerpt from www.vancouverobserver.com/blogs/megabytes/2011/08/05/internet-explorer-hoax-who-are-you-calling-stupidAlas for Mashable, the BBC, CNN, the Telegraph, CBS and hundreds of other technology and general news outlets, the story turned out to be false. AptiQuant is not a real company and there was no scientific study relating IQ to browser preference. But for 48 hours the bogus news was tweeted and retweeted, posted on Facebook and Google Plus and otherwise shared gleefully by us urbane technological sophisticates.

Hmm, I wonder who was behind the hoax? I wonder if one of the big companies slipped a few dollars to a man who knew a man. I guess we will never know.

I think we should do a british mac survey on this to prove whether this is true or not. That would be awesome
