They still have a long way to go.

I posed only one question - the all so important: "What is the meaning of life?" - but did not get the correct answer.

42.

Hey Uri, you are mixing up Monty Python and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. If you ask "What is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything?", I think you will find links that will give you your answer...which, of course, is 42. (I always knew there was something wrong with our math.)

Another google item worth noting that I haven't seen around the blogoshpere yet, gmail's ever-increasing storage space. Go to www.gmail.com and see the amount of free storage increasing by the milli-second. I'm sure the developers at google find it very funny imagining how Yahoo or Hotmail will respond.

I humbly stand corrected. I should have properly phrased my question.

However, I am stil not satisfied. The links are not enough. I was expecting to see a Google Q&A answer (green text at top of results page) :)

Oh dear, I stand corrected yet again: http://www.google.com/search?q=answer+to+life+the+universe+and+everything

of course the answer had to be calculated and not just passed along.... :)

"I'm sure the developers at google find it very funny imagining how Yahoo or Hotmail will respond."

Yahoo is trying to keep up, but seems to be having trouble doing so. Now messages in the trash folder "may be deleted at any time", as opposed to being kept for 30 days, then deleted.

Yahoo is also promising a free 1 GB account to come soon:

"Coming soon! 1GB of storage, free to all users There's more in store with Yahoo! Mail. By early May, all free Yahoo! Mail users will receive an email storage increase to a whopping 1GB. That's enough space to keep thousands and thousands of emails -- so you'll never have to delete those important messages again!"

Google are trying a lot of new things!!!
