Interesting read at the BBC News website here (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-14370878).

Come on then, own up everyone who uses IE :lol: Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "I use IE just to test"...

This made made me laugh, particularly the bit about IE6 users being 'borderline deficient, marginally able to cope with the adult world.' Probably says more about people who take online IQ tests though (and also about companies who promote online IQ tests as serious scientific studies). What I didn't like about the article was it made me imagine all the snarky snarkers snarking to themselves, and that wasn't a nice image.

Or perhaps it says more about the gullibility of multinational media organisations?

And perhaps now the snarky snarking snarkers will be forced into some uncomfortable self directed snarking at the expense of their snarky selves.
