YahooMSN.com, YahooLive.com, LiveYahoo.com - Who ownes them?

So I can’t help but wonder how the cards will be played this year with the search engines. Will Microsoft buy Yahoo. Will Google buy Yahoo, Will Google buy Ask? Will Microsoft buy Yahoo and Ask, and maybe grab AOL along the way? Who Knows….here’s some interesting URL combinations, and who owns them.
