I would love to see MS buy Y! it would herald a company with a decent search engine and a MASSIVE amount of cash to rival google.

I would love to see that too, but I don't think Yahoo is short of cash to rival Google though

Why are Yahoo not being tougher when competing with Google. Is google too ahead that Yahoo are unable to catch up?

Hopefully Microsoft will be tougher if they take over Yahoo

I think Google is just better at spotting what people wants and giving it to them.

I heard that Google allow their employees to have one day in the week where they think about new ideas only.

It's quite a good idea.
