What browser are you using?
A study was done, and it was found that users of IE are less intelligent. What are you using?

iMac: Firefox
MBAir: Chrome - I was testing it out and like it better.
Firefox seems more bloated than when it first came out and Chrome seems to be smooth and looks good on OSX, as well as I have a gmail account and G+ account, so it just works.

I've been using Firefox for about 10 years. Back then IE was vulnerable to being hijacked tool bars would appear and that.. Microsoft would update it and there would over night be changes I wasn't prepared for. I've looked at chrome but I'm not a person who likes change. Firefox is good that way..

I guess I did, but that was because I didn't want to get banned for saying I was "smarter" than him. :o I think it's important to be "diplomatic" in these matters.

Got to love this part of the article :
"AptiQuant, a self-proclaimed "world leader in the field of online psychometric testing,"
Seems there are a lot of people these past few days that are self-proclaimed experts in the psychology field.
Bet the whole lot of them would score poorly if they had to take a standardized IQ test. Somewhere around just getting into the 90s would be my guess.

I think this is interesting.

A lenghty read,if you read the comments, but pretty good
From the article:
One reader, AgentF, commented on my article about Mozilla's rapid release strategy to say, "One of the reasons I haven't fully adopted Chrome is because of the regularly scheduled major releases. It's hard trying to help out clients if they all have different versions of the software," adding, "The web doesn't drastically change every few months to warrant major releases."
Mozilla has shot Firefox in the foot. The result will be that Mozilla will continue to churn the market share of Firefox loyalists--Firefox 4 will plummet, and Firefox 5 will climb to the top...until Firefox 6. Rinse and repeat. Basically, the same percentage that use Firefox and switch from FF4 to FF5 will be the users likely to jump from FF5 to FF6.
The rest of the world--particularly companies--however, will shy away from the Mozilla browser because forcing users to upgrade every two months to keep up with the latest release just to maintain basic support and security updates is too much of a commitment.
