..........keep on dreaming / drinking or using strange drugs. No not going to happen for the upcoming years....
That's precisely why Microsoft wants to buy Yahoo!. Their portals (search included), IM platforms and online email combined together would put them in a very strong position to hurt Google.
I don't think you can take a company that is 1/5th of what Google is, and then add a company that's not even on the map, and have it come out to compete with a giant.
When Yahoo was ruling internet, Google was no where. Nobody thought they will beat Yahoo one day. Infact google became popular when yahoo's search was powered by google. Google beat Yahoo by providing better service for users. If yahoo can provide better sevice to users than google, then Yahoo will beat Google.
If they: 1 Replace the stupid portal with http://search.yahoo.com/ 2 Refresh their index frequently to remove 6-12 months dead links. 3 Come up with better algorithm. 4 Stop scarring web masters with overwhelming number of Slurps to get delayed crawl or block for Slurp.
Yahoo just only can beat google if..........................ohhh no.......they even cant think dream it....[]
