Yahoo Younger, Google Older?




I thought these were interesting statistics...from here.

The argument in the original article is that Yahoo tends to draw a younger crowd. I don't really see that in the second graph, and in particular, the time span is way too short to draw any conclusions. You could argue the ~3% difference in the 25-34 age group goes for Yahoo, and similarly ~3% difference in the 45-54 age group goes to Google. Given this data, I think that's a sketchy conclusion. However, what is interesting is the first graph, showing that those who tend to spend more online go Google instead of Yahoo. This suggests that Google definitely has a way better business model and is able to effectively convert searches or clicks to $$.

After all, in my heart NYC is still my home. This weekend is Fall Break. Unfortunately for me, the weather is bad so I probably can't go hiking, and then my boss told me Thursday that we have work to do over the weekend. Right now I am busy testing the microwave/rf generators for our quantum dot gate pulsing. We need to make sure that we can maintain the pulse form sent down to the sample with minimal distortion, reflection, attenuation and loss. This is made particularly difficult due to the size of our metal gates (which I made), on the order of 100 nm or less in width and less than 20 nm in thickness. S...
