My dedicated server can manage it just fine, never mind Google or Facebooks datacenters.

Who do you think write the code and design the hardware?
That would be engineers (software and hardware) - Google are proud of the fact that the highest status in the company is to be an engineer; every one else supports them in their tasks.
And does your dedicated server have to handle millions of requests frequently and repeatedly?
Point of information - Google R&D budget is over $3 billion, TiVo's is around $60 million (but the good news is that it will be increased by $25-$30 million this year).
