Anything Google can't do?

As one of the keynotes mentioned last week at the RSA Conference, soon Google will be entering our homes and businesses and indexing everything we own, where it's placed, etc. One of Google's latest offerings, Google Maps, already seems to be better than Yahoo Maps, Mapquest, and the other map/direction websites whose niche is supposed to be in this area. For example, just today my colleague was trying to locate the closest Papa Johns to our office so that he could order pizza for a lab demostration today. While he still did not have the correct information after nearly 5 minutes of searching, I simply went to Google Maps and typed in "papa johns near 8283 Greensboro Dr, McLean VA" and got THIS. Notice that I was able to create a link that I could email directly to someone instead of having to tell them what to type, where to click, etc; the same can be done with directions. Is it just me, or is it amazing that Google has created such a nice and simple inferface and is doing things that others in the industry have been attempting for so long?
