"they have macho engineers"

Really? Ask may be able to beat GYM, but not for the reason you are giving. All the major SE have Macho Engineers. And they all have Macho Money to get more Macho Engineers and Macho Startups. Ask has been growing recently mainly because of a renewed momentum from new resources it's receivng from IAC (which affects more than new hires, also more marketing, and other internal resources).

This round of search wars is not like when Google defeated Altavista. Today, all the major search engines are focused on search, and know that they have to keep ahead in that area. So they all will and have been hiring great engineers.

I may be wrong, but I think Google will stay in the lead for at least the next two to three years, and that Ask will make significant strides. MS is a wildcard, and Yahoo will just keep steady.
