Google is kind of eye/gateway/directory of the internet now! everybody using it for almost everything/everyday... that's a strong establishment!!!
Bad thing about Yahoo is they just resort to old style internet business, while Google fired up all guns... especially getting community to be involved like Google development kits......etc
And most important thing is Google's R&D is very strong.. they have almost set thier foot on everything now!! Including their own OS!!
Google is unstoppable...yahoo has no chance of survival...
Even after the Redmond Giant takes a stake in Facebook which some claimed was a feather in Microsoft’s cap, Google turns around and sets the social networking arena upside down. Joining forces with My Space, Google is now going to have an audience of some 200 million folks in their new Open Social platform that will link social networkswith standard applications known as API’s....
.....OpenSocial is a set of common APIs that will work on many different social websites, including MySpace, Plaxo, Hi5, Ning, orkut, and LinkedIn, among others. In addition, this allows developers to learn one API, then write a social application for any of those sites. Learn once, write anywhere, if you will. And because it's built on web standards like HTML and JavaScript, developers don't have to learn a custom programming language.
Google not only has My Space in their pocket, but also has other partners sitting in the wings ready to join on board the good ship Google. Other members may include Engage.com, Friendster, hi5, Hyves, imeem, LinkedIn, Ning, Oracle, orkut, Plaxo, Salesforce.com, Six Apart, Tianji, Viadeo, and XING.....
...Lastly, the web is global, and so is the scope of OpenSocial. When you add up the current websites who have committed to implementing OpenSocial, you realize that a developer building for OpenSocial has the chance to reach over 200M+ users in dozens of countries..

microsoft is trying their best to become a google killer since 2004 thats when google went public, but still they havent had any luck. google's market share in web products has risen to like 60% since 04. 
Since I started using internet in 2004' ive never stepped on any search engine besides google.com. It's said google's servers literally has a copy of every god damn letter, picure, document ...etc published on Internet in their local servers.
Now google is on a mission to make an open book library & available it through Internet.
There is an awesome documentry on google & how their founders became overnight billioner's named =>

MS or Google ?
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Yahoo Inc would consider a business alliance with Google Inc as one way to rebuff a $44.6 billion takeover proposal by Microsoft, a source familiar with Yahoo's strategy said on Sunday.
Yahoo management is considering revisiting talks it held with Google several months ago on an alliance as an alternative to Microsoft's bid, which, at $31 a share, Yahoo management believes undervalues the company, the source said.
A second source close to Yahoo said it had received a procession of preliminary contacts by media, technology, telephone and financial companies. But the source said they were unaware whether any alternative bid was in the offing.
Few natural bidders exist beside Google that could engage in a bidding war, and Google would be unlikely to win approval from antitrust regulators, some Wall Street analysts said on Friday.
Yahoo's efforts to find an alternative bidder could simply be a measure to pressure Microsoft to boost its bid, which valued Yahoo at $44.6 billion when first announced on Friday.
Sanford C. Bernstein analyst Jeffrey Lindsay wrote in a research note that "the Microsoft bid of $31 is very astute" because it puts pressure on Yahoo management to take actions that could unlock the underlying value of Yahoo assets, which he estimates are worth upward of $39-$45 a share.
Separately, Google Inc fired back on Sunday at Microsoft Corp's bid to acquire Yahoo Inc, accusing Microsoft of seeking to extend its computer software monopoly deeper into the Internet realm.
David Drummond, a Google senior vice president and its chief legal officer, said in a blog post that the combination of Microsoft and Yahoo could undermine competition on the Web and called on policy makers to challenge the combination.
Microsoft responded to Google's arguments by saying that a merger with Yahoo would create a "compelling number two competitor for Internet search and online advertising" to market leader Google.
"The alternative scenarios only lead to less competition on the Internet," Microsoft General Counsel Brad Smith said in a statement.
