Exactly. Some of us live in company-sponsored expat apartments where the hum-drum actions like paying utility bills is handled by others.
I'd just like to add my voice to the chorus here.
Google's whole raison d'être is search, and I often can't find anything of value anymore.
I'm not entirely certain what has happened, but it definitely sees as if something has gone wrong at the heart of Google. Instead of being an unstoppable force, I can now foresee a better search engine that can beat Google at its own game (and not from Microsoft or Yahoo! but rather from someone completely unexpected).
None of the options go far enough.
