Google (NSDQ: GOOG) turned in Q407 revenues of $4.83 billion, 51 percent higher than the previous year and 14 percent higher than the previous quarter. Net income was $1.21 billion ($3.79 per share), up 17 percent over $1.07 billion ($3.38 per share) in the same quarter last year. Google reports its revenues without deducting traffic acquisition costs, which totaled $1.44 billion; that gave the company a net income of $3.39 billion and earnings of $4.44 per share. Sounds impressive but Google failed to meet expectations, sending the stock down sharply in the first 30 minutes after-hour trading: down 8.5 percent—48 points—to $512 per share.

Some of the highlights:

-- AdSense partners generated $1.64 billion, also a substantial increase—37 percent—over the previous year but only 12 percent over Q306.
