Why do people take professional sports so seriously? Why do they identify with the player(s) so much?
Why doesn't the Catholic Church have web-enabled mass? Streaming video, audio. Zoomable camera. Click here to put money into the offering plate (select 'recur' to make this same donation every week); click here to download the sermon (select PDF, MP3, WMV, or other format).
Why doesn't blogger have a decent client/server app for writing posts off line? (And don't tell me about Performancer -- its even more awkward than Blogger itself. I know -- for something free, I expect an awful lot. )
Why is Google News sliming my burg?
We couldn't find any articles about Mechanicsburg, PA, USA.
Suggestions:
Try searching for news about a larger, more populous location.

For the desktop images. While it might make more excellent images available, it would still mean paying for them. I think there are plenty of great pictures available under Creative Commons on sites like Flickr, that I would never bother with something like that. Sometimes sites like Flickr the creator will talk about the details. But having a place that would always tell you and link to similar images would be cool.
I think I can understand why people can become obsessed with sports, but I am sure there is some deeper psychology and cultural things going on. There has to be a few books about it.
It takes awhile for churches to catch on to certain things, and I am sure new age technology is one of them. The fact that my church back home has video and audio of sermons is good enough for me.
I guess I'm thinking 'how can you enrich the experience of having something on the desktop'. A classier version of Windows' Active Desktop.
One thing that always impresses me with the television images of those megachurches that you see in Texas is how the audio of the speaker is always (well usually) of excellent quality, while the stuff thats done by Paster Bob and the Evangelical Quarter is tinny, echoing, and so forth. I am not into acoustics, but it seems like this ought to be addressable through some methods. Unfortunately, all I know about acoustics comes from a twenty year old article on the rebuilding of Carnegie Hall. Interesting, but not all that relevant now.
