Why Does Yahoo State That

Why does Google not offer 1 TB storage space like Yahoo! Mail does?

Because Google already has the growth and customers it wanted but Yahoo is in a state of resurrection to bring back customers.I completely agree with Christian's answer below. 1 TB is absurd amount of space to store stuff online even now in the current age when storage is damn cheap.Basically Yahoo is following the same strategy that Microsoft followed with Skydrive / Onedrive.Quoting from wikipedia's OneDrive page,On December 2, 2008, the capacity of an individual SkyDrive account was upgraded from 5 GB to 25 GB25 GB was a huge upgrade then with competitor like Dropbox offering just 2 GB . But the difference was Dropbox had the customers but Microsoft didn't. Just like Christian said, 25 GB is just virtual space when the average user used less than a GB. This is just pure marketing to pull in customers. But once they got the number of users they wanted this is what happened.On April 22, 2012, Microsoft released a SkyDrive desktop app reduced the free storage space for new users to 7 GB (from 25 GB). Existing users were offered a free upgrade offer to retain their 25 GB of free storage. The reason given by Microsoft is outlined in this graphAnd it remained loyal to already signed up customers by saying they can upgrade to 7 to 25 GB for a limited time. And of course even now this 25 GB is just marketing and mostly wouldn't exist physically unless the user used it. So Microsoft got what they wanted, they used 25 GB strategy to bring in more people even though as per current market people wont use more than 7 GB (or even 1 GB) even though they didn't have 25 GB physically available for each user.And once the storage became cheap, they can afford to increase again which is what Microsoft did.In June 2014, it was announced that OneDrive's default storage would increase to 15 GB—putting it in line with the amount of storage offered by its competitorGoogle Drive. Learning from its success with Skydrive / Onedrive, Microsoft is now using the same strategy to increase Office 365 customers.http://blogs.office.com/2014/06/...Now you should understand why Yahoo is offering 1 TB of free space for Yahoo mail.

How much money does Yahoo! Finance make?

I suspect you're correct about there not being any public information about this, I didn't see it in their 10-Q, though, I only looked for a few minutes. I'm not sure that there's enough information to make any sort of meaningful guess about Yahoo Finance's revenue and cost. I can tell you Yahoo states they had about $748mm in revenue across their sites in Q2, 2014. Honestly, I would guess the finance section is only a small fraction of the total. Personally, I only ever go on Yahoo Finance if I need to download historical  data for a stock. Anything I've seen written by Yahoo Finance has generally been of poor quality if it's anything more than a link to another site. I can speak only for myself, but as a person interested in finance, I find Yahoo Finance to be the exact opposite of what I'm looking for. Now, the plural of anecdote is not data, so who am I to say how many people actually use it. If you're really interested and have the time, you're most likely to find an answer by digging through their SEC filings. Here's a link. Sorry I can't give a better answer than "not much," but it's all I have time for now.Yahoo! Inc. Stock - Yahoo! Finance

What's the difference between Yahoo!7 and Yahoo!?

Yahoo! is the parent company, Yahoo!7 is a joint partnership between Yahoo! and 7. Yahoo!7 is both a TV and internet experience in Australia. Whereas Yahoo! in the states has various partnerships with TV media (including ABC, NBC. CNN, and others).The advantage? if you are in Australia you can enjoy Yahoo!7.  If you are in the US and elsewhere, you can enjoy Yahoo!  Either way, you win.

Why does China ban Google's search engine but not Yahoo's?

Having a quick look at Great Firewall of China which is a handy test resource, Yahoo!'s search domain is blocked. Yahoo! China's former domain redirects to the search domain of Yahoo! Singapore - this is also blocked. Generally media companies that fail to comply with Chinese law (including censorship of content thought to be harmful to the party or society) are blocked. Censorship is more common than you believe, a similar thing happens in the UK for instance, but is focused on copyright infringement (torrent sites, streaming sites, live streams, search engine results pages for copyright infringing content), the more extreme end of pornographic content, terrorism and criminality. The government has forced UK ISPs to make customers opt in to see 'unfiltered content' - a kind of censorship by the back door. Then we have super-injunctions where individuals go to court to prevent media and social media covering their peccadilloes. Presumably a UK government d-notice would work in a similar manner today if it covered online publishers and platforms as well as the traditional media. The EU has a 'right to be forgotten' that allows individuals to have information about them removed from search engine results. Generally the search engines don't request what has been asked of them.  China defines terrorism and criminality far wider than many western countries this includes:Pornography (including girls eating bananas in a suggestive manner or using profane language)Things that may disrupt the 'harmony' of society (big catch all, probably the category that non-Chinese get most hung up about)Rumours (this also includes stock pumpers and negative PR against organisations (like the famous Red Cross China case)State secrets (again the definition of state secrets is wider than it would be in the west, because the Chinese state is much more pervasive in industry, mining, banking etc)Google was able to provide services with China until it stopped complying with the law.

Why did Yahoo Mail become less popular?

One of the most important reasons for yahoo becoming unpopular is hackingHere is an article I wrote on yahoo being hacked for almost two years.Yahoo Hacked: 500 Million Users At Risk! - ED | The Youth BlogHacking web giants is nothing now. It happens every second month, data is lost, people are suspected and if you don’t find people then you suspect North Korea, useless words and threats are thrown around and then another hacking happens and so the cycle continues.But it looks like Yahoo tried real hard to break the cycle by doing something no web giant could have ever imagined to do, truly path breaking actions done on the part of Yahoo. They let Yahoo be hacked!500 million users affected!Yahoo officials confirmed that the website has suffered a massive data, probably the biggest cyber breach ever.The breach has affected over 500 million user accounts. Their personal information, addresses may have been stolen. Yahoo is yet to confirm the extent of the breach because apparently, ‘they suspect’ that other Yahoo services like Tumblr, Flickr and Fantasy Football might be affected too.Funnily enough, Yahoo officials in an attempt to save their own skin said that it was a state-sponsored act and the breach had existed since 2014.For two years Yahoo was hacked and they didn’t even know about it. They suspect personal information is stolen, I say, I am sure personal information is stolen and now Yahoo to save its dignity (if it has any left) the theft becomes state sponsored.In its latest statement Yahoo confirmed that a singular breach existed since 2014 but they were able to trace it in August this year when another breach surfaced!Damage ControlSince the harm is already done Yahoo will simply reset all its passwords and work closely with Cyber Law Enforcement to prevent any further loss.It’s a trying time for Yahoo. After going through enormous economic loss, CEO Meyers was hoping for a change of fortunes but the breach has just darkened the situation for Yahoo.
