Who needs the internet...

... when you've got google? Having methodically replaced Altavista, Dejanews, and Yahoo, it seems google is now taking on CNN. What I want to know is, how can they possibly be making money? With the amount of content they serve, they must have amazing servers, and ungodly bandwidth. But they have no ads, and as far as I know aren't taking bribes for better placement, so where do they get revenue? The only thing I can think of is the sponsored links they provide to ebay, TicketsNow, etc. The irony of that as their main source of revenue (if indeed it is) is that they are getting paid huge amounts by companies with marginal business models to provide a service their users already want!
google is my new god.
