Wow, that was amazingly bad.
* Correlation does not imply causation. http://xkcd.com/552/ http://xkcd.com/552/
* The word say "Google, not surprisingly, hires mainly people who attended the country's top engineering universities, like Stanford and MIT" but the bar graph says 3% from Stanford and 1% from MIT. Yet, the Apple hiring graph shows Apple hired 2% from Stanford.
There is no statistical information given with the graphs, but I strongly suspect that the difference between 3% and 2% is statistically insignificant in the studies. Kind of undermines the premise of the article.
* The characterisation "mainly" seems like a big stretch for 3% (Stanford) + 1% (MIT). It is even a stretch for the total of all the schools listed, 9%.
