On Friday, for the first time in history, ratings agency S&P downgraded America's credit rating from AAA to AA.

I believe it to be an ominous sign.  Ominous for those who lent to America's government, and perhaps ominous for lower and middle class Americans.


 

When was the last time you saw a news site that included:

 

Yes, one sentence.

And no, I'm not going to go the typical route and say something like "George Bush" or "Barack Obama" (although they have certainly contributed to the United States' current financial condition!)

I'm going to present a brief, concise argument.  Well, brief...at least by my standards! ;)


 

Recently, a very interesting study found a huge difference between the average IQ scores of users of different internet browsers.

Part One examined the results of the study.

These are the approximate average IQ scores associated with the identified internet browsers:

128:  Opera
126:  Camino
123:  IE with Chrome Frame
113:  Safari
111:  Chrome
107:  Firefox
  96:  IE 8
  90:  IE 9
  86:  IE 7
  83:  IE 6


How Do My Readers Compare?


 

Are my readers more intelligent than average, or less intelligent than average?

You'd probably like to get right to the results, right?  Well, I need to first provide some context! (And a bit of anticipation, hopefully!)

On Saturday, Fox News reported:

"An old geek adage has become much more believable as a new study has found evidence that Internet Explorer users are generally dumber than Chrome and Firefox users.
