Yeah, and it sucks donkey balls! 

But, when you have almost infinitely deep pockets, like
Google, you don't need to create *everything* yourself, no,
you simply wait for someone else to build it, then wait a
little longer for them to market it successfully, and when
it's juuuusssst starting to turn a profit, you swoop in,
purchase it, and then you drive that "money train" at full
speed until its wheels fall off!

And if the owners refuse to sell, no problem, you offer
their customers the same services at bargain basement
discounts -- then they'll have no choice but to sell, or
face bankruptcy. Yep, just another tactic of economic
warfare.
