Over in the US, 55 IT specialists will huddle together in a dark room to keep company’s website afloat on the biggest day of its entire year, since it’s going to be bombarded by millions of ravenous fans. But the company they work for isn’t the NFL. More »
Why fix the spill when you can fix the brand? That pretty much sums it up, doesn’t it? We’ve seen how BP deals with coffee spills. Here’s how they deal with rebranding. More »
In just over six weeks, Domino’s Pizza has sold over a million dollars worth of Pizza through their iPhone app. Must. Resist. Urge. To. Vomit. More »
Pizza Hut may have announced that they were going to launch their iPhone app in Australia last month, but Domino’s has gone and launched their own app, and if you can stomach the thought of eating their pizza, it looks pretty sweet. More »
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 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. The service even gives customers the first names of the workers who take their phone order and deliver their pizza, so slackers will have to shape up or ship out. Unfortunately, the tracker stops short of keeping tabs on the drivers when they are in route, so the time it takes for their beater car to sputter to your door may still be tense for impatient pizza lovers.
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]
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 »
We love us some phone concepts around here, and Syntes Studio’s Domino phone is no exception. The dialing buttons are setup with domino dots to designate value, as opposed to the primitive, fashionless numeric system. Plus, it’s super sleek and thin, just like your favorite anorexic super model (but sexy).
We especially like that you get five extra phones with each purchase, just so you can set them up to fall. Hit the jump for some more shots. More »
