Inspired by this bit of fun, Projection Point decided to carry out a real study comparing the risk intelligence (RQ) of people using different browsers. We found that Internet Explorer users performed worse than everyone else; they had lower RQ scores and were grossly overconfident."

So first we called them stupid, and now they are grossly overconfident according to another study.
I predict the next study will show that their mothers are fatter than average, and ugly.

Lets go a step further. Droid users would rather vote for Ron Paul where as Apple users would re-elect Barack Obama. If you're going to throw gasoline onto the fire, at least learn to do it right.

safari users are fashion hippies with deep pockets or high credit bills

netscape users are still on dial-up and
bbs users have something naughty to hide

IE Users who also watch Fox News are more likely than most to be in a coma and on life support, but on their own dime... cause even in a coma, they didn't need no damn government assistance!

What about the 10-step percentage scale they used? Seriously, is any person able to differentiate between being "70% sure" and "80% sure" regarding any statement?
I play a lot of DnD, and it's amazing how useful knowing that sort of shit is for your saving throws.

Don't worry. Most will have to ask someone what "grossly overconfident" means so few will feel the sting.

It's psychological research... ofcourse it's not a real study.

These are the same people I have at work that do not know what I am talking about when I ask them to open "the browser".
After a few tense moments they ell at me about why I do not just say open "the internet".
Fuck I hate my job.
