Take a beer and calm down. 'Geeks' was your word and not mine and yes for the most part they are. They're not 'polling' but simply gathering data from visitors and the majority of that data comes from their own and similar sites.

Just because it's a 'resource for developers' does not make it accurate. May be that it is pretty close but then I mearly questioned the accuracy of it. It could be within a couple of percent or miles out but without a source of data from a more general audience it's hard to tell. Certainly the browser statistics from that site more than proved that it is often heavily biased.

A little tip for you - just because something's published on the Internet does not make it true or accurate (or the opposite for that matter).
