In what regard? FB has been know to buy hot start-ups that might threaten their business (e.g. Instagram, WhatsApp). Yahoo is a boring old dinosaur whose core business is failing. The only thing worth anything is their stake in Alibaba. The sole thing they own that might interest FB is Tumblr. But Yahoo recently disclosed that they may write down all of the remaining value of that service, which would be $1.1B down the drain.
