<div>Internet Explorer IQ study was a hoax<br>
August 3, 2011 | 2:43 pm</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>A study that suggested Internet Explorer users were not as smart
as those using other Web browsers is apparently a fake, according to
the person that initially distributed it.<br>
<br>
In a statement on its website, Aptiquant said it "was set up in
late July 2011 by comparison shopping website AtCheap.com in order to
launch a fake studyš.... The main purpose behind this hoax was to
create awareness about the incompatibilities of IE6, and not to insult
or hurt anyone.˛<br>
<br>
The company, Aptiquant, doesn't exist, according to a separate
statement on its website.<br>
<br>
A man identifying himself as the owner of Atcheap.com said he was
behind the hoax. "It was just a joke, and I didnšt really mean
to insult anybody," he said.</div>
