And I wouldn't be at all surprised if they bought all of Yahoo's web properties just to kill them. Yahoo is on its way to being a holding company. Their piece of Alibaba is worth more than the rest of the company combined.
If Google does buy Flickr, I'll be exiting fairly rapidly, even if they choose not to kill it directly. I have developed an intense dislike for the way they push their real clients at users, even in Google Maps, which is one of their better products.
