Women outperform men in these multi-tasking paradigms, but the near lack of empirical studies on gender differences in multitasking should caution against making strong generalisations. Instead, we hope that other researchers will aim to replicate and elaborate on our findings.

Women 'better at multitasking' than men, study finds
Gauss' breakthrough occurred in 1796 when he was 19. He showed that any regular polygon with a number of sides which is a Fermat prime [p = 2^(2^n) + 1] (and, consequently, those polygons with any number of sides which is the product of distinct Fermat primes and a power of 2) can be constructed by compass and straightedge.

Advertising is annoying and rude. Flashing away trying to steal my attention from the activity I am trying to pursue.
"don't do that, come and do this instead"
"skip this ad in 5 seconds" - no thanks
The interesting thing about the New Albion was that it was so
completely modern in spirit. There was hardly a soul in the firm
who was not perfectly well aware that publicity--advertising--is
the dirtiest ramp that capitalism has yet produced. In the red
lead firm there had still lingered certain notions of commercial
honour and usefulness. But such things would have been laughed at
in the New Albion. Most of the employees were the hard-boiled,
Americanized, go-getting type to whom nothing in the world is
sacred, except money. They had their cynical code worked out. The
public are swine; advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a
swill-bucket. And yet beneath their cynicism there was the final
naivete, the blind worship of the money-god. Gordon studied them
unobtrusively. As before, he did his work passably well and his
fellow-employees looked down on him. Nothing had changed in his
inner mind. He still despised and repudiated the money-code.
Somehow, sooner or later, he was going to escape from it; even now,
after his first fiasco, he still plotted to escape. He was IN the
money world, but not OF it. As for the types about him, the little
bowler-hatted worms who never turned, and the go-getters, the
American business-college gutter-crawlers, they rather amused him
than not. He liked studying their slavish keep-your-job mentality.
He was the chiel amang them takin' notes.
I switched to Chrome to see what the speed was like and I came to the conclusion it was a slicker browser for daily use.
But then I reminded myself that some things are more important than raw speed and responsiveness.
Google's interest is tracking and targeting. Chrome actively worked against me in this regard. Firefox, despite its financial ties to Google, put control and freedom onto my desktop.
A bit of occasional sluggishness is a worthy price to pay.
The beer is free at all the browser bars and while I was drinking it, I remembered I liked free as in speech.
Conclusions
Women outperform men in these multi-tasking paradigms, but the near lack of empirical studies on gender differences in multitasking should caution against making strong generalisations. Instead, we hope that other researchers will aim to replicate and elaborate on our findings.
