Ha ha ha ha ,..... ha ha ha.

The report has sparked anger from IE supporters, who have threatened AptiQuant with legal action.

Ha ha ha ha ,..... ha ha ha

Hmmmm. I not just laughing at the overall report, I laughing at the "I'm dumb so I'm suing!" attitude. WOW!

Ha ha ha ha .....

Thanks. This has helped me and my friends around the water-cooler already. Laughter everywhere, today. Thanks

Hahah I maybe need an EQ test instead of IQ test. I already know the IQ one would be very low but EQ is how one emotionally have social skills and that would be interesting.

I always make people upset and I myself easily get hot on the collar something and have a short temper. So EQ is the thing that interests me. IQ is not very important. People with very high IQ can still behave like jerks

Don't tell the Ubuntu folks. Them would faint of fear for what can happen being that bold.

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.

BBC seems to have updated their page removing the original story
I don't get it. How could they even fool BBC? Or is it that their tech news section didn't work hard enough on verifying their news?

You can't believe everything you read on the Internet. Just because they say it's a hoax, doesn't mean it was.

Even if it was a hoax, doesn't mean it's not true.
