Yahoo reveals secrets of the universe

Typing while walking is different than typing while sitting

INTERNET PORTAL Yahoo has reached a new low by funding research which discovered that typing while walking is different than typing while sitting. Who would have thunk it?

It also found that typing on a glass smartphone screen is different than using a keyboard, a fact that every single smartphone user could have told it. Buttons and touchscreens tend to be different, a truth that Yahoo will undoubtedly one day discover.

A more interesting figure that Yahoo uncovered was that more people search for TV and movie topics on the Ipad than any other device. The number was so high that it almost rivaled similar searches on desktop computers.

Yahoo found that more Ipad users than PC users search for information on investment and real estate, a figure it puts down to the fact that the Ipad is so expensive that only the wealthy among us, who traditionally are more interested in investment, can afford it.

The research also discovered that more older people search for brand names than younger people. The figure was dramatically higher for PC users than smartphone users, however, suggesting that brand loyalty is less of a concern when out and about. µ
