Generally, I've found that my boss will first tell me when he wants it done or needs it done, and then ask me how long it will take. So it boils down to a yes/no question, to which "yes" is the correct answer, for him.
Is this something new? At least 3 years ago I was using www.yes.net to get the name of a song on the radio. They've changed their homepage since, probably to commercialize it more, but I used to input my city, the radio station, and the time of day. Their site would display the song that played and offer a link to purchase the disc.
If you need to search the web for something useful, it can't be done in under 10 minutes.
If you put the word "map" in your search, you will get everything except a map. This holds especially true if you want to know where the fuck within Orlando Disney World is.
Google has excellent international support so long as you're search is in English and USA-based.
If you're going to clone anything, why not clone gmail? Gmail completely changed the way email works (at least for me). For example:
Labels: Hardly anyone uses them, but the gmail labels are way better than the folders that Outlook and all the other clients offer. I have plenty of mail that belongs in multiple categories.
Threads: Gmail handles threads, possibly even more elegantly than VM. Outlook doesn't even bother trying.
Client-side scripting: The reply button is so zippy on Gmail. Beats crappy old Yahoo for sure.
Gmail searching: A search based on Google's search engine. There's no other search engine that I'd rather.
Does anyone else want a mail client that works just like gmail but can access POP3 and IMAP anywhere and runs locally on his own computer?
My LCD screen here at work is 20" on diagonal, and running a resolution of 1280x1024. Scaled down to 5 inches, that almost exactly 320x240. Sounds like the QVGA screen isn't low resolution, just small in size. Which makes sense, because the technology is surely very expensive now and the market that they're looking for now is PDAs, not laptops.
Plus, there's no doubt that color, bigger screens, and higher resolutions are on the way.

The claim is that IE7 is "one of the first" browsers to have a color-coded location bar. Maybe "one of the last" is more appropriate?
Either HDR is a bunch of crap or the explanation is. I'm reminded of Nigel of Spinal Tap explaining how his amp is better because it goes to eleven.
