I'll probably get downvoted to oblivion for this, but here goes...
I think there may be some truth to this rumor. I do a lot of advertising on TrafficVance which is basically pop-up advertising on computers with adware. One thing I noticed regarding the traffic I received to my landing pages was that a disproportionately high number of my visitors were using Internet Explorer. The percentages were so disproportionate that some of the advertisers I was working with flagged it as "suspicious." (This was thankfully cleared up when I explained to them how I get my traffic.)
For whatever reason, it seems like more Internet Explorer users have adware on their computer than users of other browsers. To me this shows that users of other browsers are more technologically literate than IE users, as you wouldn't expect a technologically literate person to have adware on his/her computer.
Does technological literacy correlate with intelligence? I don't know, that's not really for me to say, but I don't think we should be so hasty to dispel this notion simply because a study was faked.

Question for the OP: Did anyone complain to you that he thought he was getting an ipod, but instead got a knock-off? I think that if nobody thought he was buying an ipod, it would be perfectly reasonable for you to sell your mp3 players. In my experience however, some sellers deliberately mislead customers on sites like ebay to buy cheap knock-off products.

Blow the dust - Facebook | Twitter | Youtube
Mobile game. Imagine gold miner going to a planet? Find nuggets, covered with layer of dust. Use power of your lungs to blow off the dust (via microphone of mobile phone). More interesting features might come (too fast, too slow). Lets figure out the mechanics, it's going to be a fun game.
Lol, gives me an idea for a similar "game"
