don't knock it til you have tried it.
what other city has a university ratio of 4 univerasities to 300k people, roads that are better than most other states highways, highest average income and highest average level of education in the country, and the rural countryside minutes drive down the, very good,road?
Back on topic.... Does this mean IE users are more likely to fall for a Nigerian 419 scam ?
Fail. It assumes that "me" is in the accusative case, which it would be if we were speaking bloody Latin. But in English "me" covers a lot more territory; it is the oblique case and ought to be used almost any time you aren't referring to the direct and most immediate subject of the sentence. "Ving and me went to the beach" is correct.
Mind you I would say "Ving and I". I've had proper English educated out of me, like most people.

This study didn't go far enough. What about dissecting browser preferences according to other criteria such as left-handedness, Myers-Briggs, eye colour, and camera brand?
As for the conclusion, meh. Perhaps the only people that be bothered figuring out Opera are higher IQ obsessives...

I use firefox at home and IE at work (cause at work I don't get a choice). Yet again I use safari on my iPad and iPhone. Now this has me wondering. Am I smarter at home than I am at work? Because my workplace forces me to use IE, are my bosses less intelligent? Cause I tend to use my iPad when away from home (and not at work), I must become smarter when in different environments. Sheesh!
Or the alternate sentence:

I assume you typed that second sentence at work.
I remember reading about the (one time) head of Mensa in England. He had a IQ (as measured by Mensa) of 160, yet he was a bus driver. He eventually killed himself, perhaps because he could't work out how someone as bright as he was could be a dumb as he was. I also remember that in a mining town (Rosebery to be specific), we had a saying, and it was "If you're so f*cking good, how come you're here?". I could say the same "If you're so ** smart, how come you're (or we're) on AP?"
Easy! "I've gotta be me"
Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong
I gotta be me, I've gotta be me
What else can I be but what I am

IQ tests... meh!
life measures how smart you are.(and what browser you use)
Yes! They are downright stupid. Your IT department should be reassigned to window-washing duties, and the window cleaner put in charge of IT. This will probably result in a distinct improvement in the IT service delivery, but possibly at the cost of dirtier windows.
Threadstarter
if not the window cleaner then try a bus driver... they are brilliant!
I'm on IE and can't even follow this thread.---- maybe that proves something.
Causality... Low IQ people are more likely to use IE does not mean an IE users has a lower IQ.
Statistics . . . yes it does, actually.
(Provided that there are no unconsidered confounding variables, and provided also that we are interested in the average figure, which is depressed by the high number of low-scoring individuals on the left-hand end of the bell curve.)
