TiVo Completes The Evening TV Dinner: Adds Domino’s Pizza Ordering
10:30PM Kit Eaton | Ahh…digitally controllable TV, and the chance of fresh tasty pizza: That’s what TiVo and Dominos Pizza are now offering. Broadband-connected TiVo users will be able to order pizza for delivery or pick-up (though that’d involve leaving the comforting hug of your sofa’s cushions…crazy!) and then can even track the progress all via the TiVo interface. It starts today, it’s free to broadband TiVo subscribers, and the only inconvenience is having to pay in cash when the food arrives. Press release below. AU: We know this is coming to Australia next year… just a few more months before you can literally live on your couch.

Domino’s Online Pizza Tracking Accurate to 40 Seconds: Too Bad Their Pizza Sucks
8:30AM Sean Fallon | Domino’s new online pizza tracking system will allow hungry customers to keep tabs on their pizza from the moment they place the order up until the moment it leaves the store—and it is accurate to 40 seconds.

Domino Flash Drive Great For Storage, Gambiling and Toppling Not So Much
11:40AM Sean Fallon | Unlike many of the flash drive designs these days, the Domino concept by Marcos Breder adds adds a little extra fun and functionality into the mix. Each domino can be split into two separate drives, with the white dots indicating the remaining storage capacity. The problem is that playing an actual game of dominoes with these drives would be damn near impossible (so gambling is out) —and putting enough of them together to form a proper toppling pattern would require countless drives. Not that it matters all that much given the fact that this product doesn’t actually exist. [Yanko Design via Oh Gizmo] More »
Domino’s Launches Pizza by TXT in UK
4:40AM Jason Chen | If you needed another hint as to how much more reliant people are on SMS in other countries, Domino’s Pizza by TXT feature should do the trick. All you have to do is just set up a “favorite meals” list and text the correct “meal” label to Domino’s, and they’ll bring one to your flat in no time. We say flat, because this is only available in the UK. [Dominos via Pocket Lint via Tech Digest] More »
