Paul Graham recently discussed some of the most frighteningly ambitious start-up ideas he’s encountered. They include:

• A new search engine. Google has become cluttered, confusing, and no longer returns useful results all the time. Individuals are trying to take on the search behemoth by creating a new search engine.
• A replacement for email. Google is once again part of the problem. Gmail has become slow and clunky. Moreover email has now become a list of things that you need to do or require your attention. A new email protocol would take into account this aspect of email and give you more control.
• The next Steve Jobs. High level executives and informed insiders are pessimistic about the future of Apple after Steve Jobs. A new tech company could sweep the markets.
