Fact: On average, people who use IE have a lower IQ.

I saw that report. I think it's daft personally. My mum has an IQ of 150 odd, but can't turn on a computer, never mind install firefox or whatever. Some people just don't care, as long as they can do the basics.

Quote:
AptiQuant stressed that using IE doesn't mean you have low intelligence. "What it really says is that if you have a low IQ then there are high chances that you use Internet Explorer," said AptiQuant CEO Leonard Howard.


The study has an impressive sample size but I do agree with you, Henbane.

i can see why someone who goes to the effort of downloading a different browser would be more probable to have a higher IQ

I found that article earlier and thought it was interesting and hilarious. It makes sense though, because many tech savvy people do not use IE. Generally speaking, tech savvy people tend to have higher IQ scores.

I'm sorry if I have offended or insulted anyone. That was not my intention. The fact that I failed to realize how this may be offensive is only a reflection of a failure on my part.

I put the Netflix disc in the mail today. Won't have the next one until probably Friday or Saturday. Stupid "one disc at a time" plan.

Stupid Netflix for not making "Space Ghost Coast to Coast" available for streaming. Good thing there are some full episodes on YouTube.

I sprayed sunscreen on my face so it wouldn't get burnt and the spray felt like it was burning my skin. How's that for irony.

That's not a surprise considering there are chemical irritants in sunscreen. But yeah I see the irony! :lol:
