Internet Explorer story was bogus
(from BBC News)
A story which suggested that users of Internet Explorer have a lower IQ than people who chose other browsers appears to have been an elaborate hoax.
It's probably true though, if they actually researched it.
Either way:
A number of media organisations, including the BBC, reported on the research
Oops! Now who's got a low IQ.
And just to compound the effect, they've for some reason posted this story twice. Oops!

Lost Alfred Hitchcock film found in New Zealand by Paul Chapman
(from The Telegraph)
"This is one of the most significant developments in memory for scholars, critics, and admirers of Hitchcock's extraordinary body of work."
It's not actually a film directed by Hitchcock though, but it was one for which he "wrote the scenario, designed the sets, edited the footage and served as assistant director". Interesting stuff.
