If Yahoo won't snatch them here, Google will. It's very hard to be competitive in the valley with all big 3 (GYM - Google/Yahoo/Microsoft) competing for roughly the same work force (there are shifts of power from time to time) plus a bunch of other companies like AOL, FIM, etc. Israel can be considered a tipping point that might make things look a bit differently both economically and strategically.

They have enough problems retaining any good engineers at headquarters with all the bloodletting and other nonsense going on.
