According to this study:

people using IE are the ones with the lower IQ. Not that I believe much in these studies, but taken IE flaws... I second it.  ;D

As much as IE annoys me, that study has already been declared a hoax.

Surprisingly enough the BBC page you linked had a link to a story on bitcoin:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/click_online/9555513.stm

Great hoax (http://www.aptiquant.com/), but it's one for the good!  :)

Hoax or not I still second it. IE users are the ones calling support because their "deeloos" are getting slow.  ;D

Back in my early tech support days I had a caller I'll never forget call me to ask how to "connectificate my thinkbook to da weefee"

It took several minutes just to figure out if she was in fact using a thinkpad or a macbook, and another several to figure out that "weefee" meant WiFi... As it turns out it was a macbook, so perhaps we should extend the cliche to "people who use whatever came with the computer" instead of specific products. I 100% guarantee you that woman bought the computer because it was shinier than the one next to it.

P.S. This isn't me spewing mac-hate, I've built my share of hackintoshes, this is me spewing stupid-noob-hate and that my friends is cross-platform ;)

As in general a Mac user would stroke faster if the Apple logo drops off his laptop than if his entire HD burns to hell  ;D

But yes, that's pretty much cross-platform and cross-technology.
