Korisnici IE imaju niži IQ?

Kanadska kompanija AptiQuant sprovela je istraživanje koje je za cilj imalo povezivanje koeficijenta inteligencije ispitanih i browsera koji oni koriste. Rezultati do kojih su došli nisu pohvalni za one koji preferiraju Microsoftov Internet Explorer.

Više od 100 hiljada ljudi uradilo je onlajn IQ test čiji su rezultati kasnije povezani sa podacima o browseru iz kog su pristupali testu.

Rezultat do kojih je AptiQuant došao govore da korisnici Internet Explorera imaju koeficijent inteligencije niži od prosečnog, oni koji koriste Chrome, Firefox i Safari u proseku imaju IQ nešto iznad proseka, dok su najviši IQ imali oni koji koriste Operu i Camino.

Korisnici starijih verzija Internet Explorera, 6 i 7, imaju IQ nešto iznad 80, ali korisnici najnovije verzije nisu, opet u proseku, prešli granicu od 100, za razliku od korisnika svih drugih browsera.

Znao sam da ima neki razlog za moje niske intelektualne kapacitete. Samo nisam znao da za to mogu da krivim Microsoft!!

Ali, Meho, oni su samo pronašli korelaciju, a to ne znači da postoji i kauzalna veza, ali kapiram da ne vredi korisnicima Internet Explorera pojašnjavati ove nijanse.

IE dolazi uz Windows. Da ne dolazi ne bi bilo veze.

Ja uporno koristim Mozillu iako je grozno spora, redovno krešuje i komp mi prijavljuje probleme kada ne registruje da je ugašena, a izgasila sam je...

Biće da korisnici Mozille imaju najniži IQ čim trpe sva ta sranja.

Ja sam se i netscape navigatora držo ko pijan plota dok ga windows nije skroz obesmislio. IQ = vijuga manje od kamile. Verovatno sam bio poslednji korisnik u Srbiji 
Mislim, popizdim i kad yahoo mail za dlaku promeni izgled (znači, jedva sam se otkačio i yahoo kao pretraživača  ) a kamoli kad treba menjati nešto bitnije.

I tako kažeš D., mozilla serucka... A ja taman, ponekad, probam da vidim oćel mi se primiti. Pa dobro, biću i poslednji korisnik mozille 

Nećeš biti poslednji, Stevo. Barem ne dok Stipan ima pristup netu...

Samo vi pljujte Internet Explorer... a da vam nije njega, kako biste download-ovali browser kad reinstalirate sistem?

Sa CD-a, of kors.

A naručioci istraživanja: Opera developeri. 

Opera, moj omiljeni browser, samo da nema toliki memory leak... mada u odnosu na Chrome i Firefox je i štedljiva po pitanju resursa.

Ah, da, da ne zaboravimo ovo:

QuoteHow the hoax started and propagated.
Ok, now that the hoax is totally uncovered, let me go back and try to sum up everything that happened over the last week.

But first, I would like to stress a few points:

1.There was no intention to insult anyone. I regret the use of word "dumb" in my press release, but it was kind of important to get media attention.
2.This was not a cheap publicity stunt, but an honest effort to create awareness about the incompatibilities of IE versions 6.0 to 8.0. I have had made futile efforts in this regard earlier too (see www.beastoftheweb.com)
3.I would be happy if even a 100 people stopped using IE 6.0 after this whole episode  
A little about me: My name is Tarandeep Gill. I am a computer programmer/web developer/entrepreneur [Update: I am based in Vancouver, British Columbia and not in San Francisco as some media outlets reported today] . I graduated with a Masters Degree in Computer Science from Georgia Tech. I worked briefly before quitting my job to work on my startup www.AtCheap.com, which is a comparison shopping website. I take 100% responsibility for this hoax.

About the hoax: While adding some exciting new features to my website, it was getting more and more difficult to support IE version 6.0 to 8.0. Particularly IE 6.0. There is no doubt about IE's lack of compatibility with web standards (not IE 9.0 though). I am sure every web-developer in the world would agree with me over this, and I am sure every web-developer has at least once in their lifetime felt that how much better the world would be, if there was no IE. I would like to congratulate Micro$oft for making IE 9.0 so compatible, but this whole hoax thing was targeted at IE 6.0 to 8.0

Anyways, I have been recently reading about Memetics. I am a big fan of Dr. Richard Dawkins and theory of evolution of life, and it was really amazing to see the same theory being applied to "ideas" or "memes." According to the theory of Memetics, 'survival of the fittest' theory applies to ideas as well. Strong ideas survive, multiply and evolve over time, whereas weak ones die.

So, frustrated with IE (and the fact that you can not have all the 4 versions on one computer to test your website), I went on to create a meme that would result in some awareness and hopefully convince a few IE users to stop using it. As Christopher Budd sums it all up in this post, I wanted my "report" to have an authority. So I used some scientific language and style. I am myself a researcher and have done some research in Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence, though I have never had a paper published. However, psychology not being my area of expertise, I did some research on it to make my report look official. Then I had to create a website to make my report look real. Although the resulting website wasn't that authentic looking, but it did the job.

The next step was the press release. I hoped to get some coverage, but with all the signs that I have mentioned in this post, I was hoping to be uncovered pretty soon. But, I guess what I said was exactly what people wanted to hear. The "meme" spread so fast, it was becoming virtually impossible for me to track all the news sites/blogs that were covering my story. So, in the end I just went off to relax for the long weekend, and by the time I was back, people have started to uncover the hoax.

In the end, I would once again like to apologize to IE users who felt insulted. And I really hope at least a few people stopped using IE 6.0 to 8.0 after this whole episode.

QuoteTell-Tale signs that should have uncovered the hoax in less than 5 minutes!


1.The domain was registered on July 14th 2011.
2.The test that was mentioned in the report, "Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (IV) test" is a copyrighted test and cannot be administered online.
3.The phone number listed on the report and the press release is the same listed on the press releases/whois of my other websites. A google search reveals this.
4.The address listed on the report does not exist.
5.All the material on my website was not original.
6.The website is made in WordPress. Come on now!
7.I am sure, my haphazardly put together report had more than one grammatical mistakes.
8.There is a link to our website AtCheap.com in the footer.

Može li ova glupava Opera da:

1. pri kopiranju adrese u adressbar ne pretražuje preko googla, nego odmah da da tu adresu tj stranu?
2. da pauzira download?
3. da negde prikaže sačuvane passworde?

kao svi ostali normalni browseri? Kako i gde?

1. Kucanje adrese bez dodavanja domena?
2. Stopiraš, zatim nastaviš.
3. Mislim da ovako preko opcija ne možeš, a i bolje je što su tako uradili.

1. ne radi se o kucanju, nego o kopiranju, kad kopiraš http://www.popboks.com/naslovna.php u bilo koji pretraživač, sem opere, dobijaš naslovnu stranu popboksa, a u operi dobijaš linkove, kao kad kucaš adresu u google pretraživač

2. genijalno, znači nastavlja posle stopiranja?

3. Što bolje? Kad zaboraviš, zaboravljeno je zauvek?

1. Kada ukucavam punu url adresu u address baru odmah me dovodi na zahtevanu stranu, baš čudno da se kod tebe tako ponaša. Probaj da postaviš pitanje na Opera Community forumu.

3. Znao sam da će me čekati takav odgovor : ) sve zavisi kakve su ti navike sa čuvanjem šifara i da li samo ti imaš pristup svom računaru/nalogu.

ja koristim operu, i nikada mi se nije javio problem 1. kada ukucam (ili kopiram) punu adresu i puknem enter, odmah me vodi na zahtevanu stranicu.

opera ima varijantu da pamti lozinke, i ako korisnik prihvati da mu opera zapamti lozinku, istu može da aktivira kada sledeći put bude posetio stranicu sa Ctrl+Enter.

Jeste, znači mora ENTER - ako se odabere iz padajućeg menija ista adresa koja se kopira (ona je prva u padajućem meniju koji izlazi posle kopiranja), onda vodi u google rezultate.

Za razliku od Firefoxa koji ima dugme (strelicu) za pretragu, koje se pritiska (umesto ENTER) posle kopiranja adrese i
za razliku od Gooigle Chrome-a, koji nudi padajući meni, ali koji vodi direktno na stranu, a ne u google rezultate.
Zaključak: pri kopiranju adrese u Operi, nije moguće izbeći upotrebu tastature, ako se želi ići direktno na željenu stranu!

Pa ukucavaš je preko tastature, jedan ENTER stisak nije mnogo jebem mu miša : ) osim ako ne kopiraš pa pejstuješ, u tom slučaju ima zgodnije rešenje, obeležiš URL, desnik klik i "Go to Web Address".

pa jeste, kada kopiraš pored prve adrese u padajućem meniju piše google. klikneš na drugu (pod uslovom da postoji u padajućem meniju, odnosno da je opera ima u svom historiju) i eto ga, nema ENTER.

Ako imate sajtove koje često posećujete, a želite još jedan brz način pristupa, pored speed dial-a i bookmark bar-a, koristite nickname opciju u bookmarksima. Recimo, kada ukucam zs u URL bar, odmah me pošalje na Index stranu Sagite Foruma.

postoji i ona autokomplit opcija, ja samo krenem da kucam "zna" i on mi izbaci ceo link, pljas enter i tu sam.

 

Ova Opera mi preko Wikipedia pretraživača izbacuje kao rezultat samo nekakve šture stranice Vikipedije na srpskom!!?

Mora da postoji neko podešavanje da se dobijaju normalni - pravi, kompletni tekstovi (na engleskom i dr)!

Ako ne postoji, onda je Opera je najidiotskiji softverski produkt ljudskog uma i moraću da je otkačim!
