Are You Smart? Then You Probably Do Not Use IE!

This story was already widely reported and discussed ad nauseum three days ago.
I somehow managed to miss it.
Unfortunately, studies also show that people who rely on Fox News for their news are (measurably and demonstratively) more poorly informed and more misinformed than those who get their news elsewhere.
Though the study was done by AptiQuant, not Fox News. I don't know anything about AptiQuant, but their conclusion accords with my biases -- so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, and chalk up the Fox News connection as an example of the Stopped Clock effect.

This also raises the interesting question:
namely, will advertisers begin paying more for page views on FF, Opera, etc, and paying less for page views on IE -- or the other way around?

Quoting:will advertisers begin paying more for page views on FF, Opera, etc, and paying less for page views on IE -- or the other way around?
That depends upon the targeted market. It makes little sense to advertise a Maserati to people living(?) on $15,000/year.

Well, it's hard to get a proper sample size for those who rely on MSNBC.

Now it appears that this whole "non-story" was probably a hoax:
