Then of course the massive amounts of content and shear backlinks to every page on there and don't forget the massive PR. I'm not surprised they rank on top for almost every subject.

Consistancy is a very important factor as well.
The fact that the content changes is one thing, the fact that it consistantly changes day after day, month after month, is another.
Same with the links and all other aspects. Getting 500 shitty links, 200 not bad links and 50-70 quality inbounds in one day to a site is great and maybe spammage, getting them consistantly everyday is monstrous and what makes se superdomains.
Now the same serps that display that massively linked to and massively updated page, will also show sites (possible right below or above) that are static, and havent changed in months or years, and have low ammount of links to them added. But just like the superdomain, they are consistant in their strategy. If they strayed, ie started adding tons of content or tons of links, it would almost certainly effect their rankings.
