Domino's Pizza Tracker Monitors Your Pie's Progress

Domino's Introduces the Pizza Tracker

If you're the type who hates to pick up the phone, no problem: Many restaurants have already made your life easier by offering online orders. Pizza, in particular, is usually just a few clicks of a mouse (or even a text message) away these days, but once you do click, you're always left with that bit of doubt: Did my order really get placed? With no friendly voice to assure you it'll be there in 30 minutes, it's easy to wonder about the fate of your alleged pizza order. Not with Domino's, at least not any more, thanks to its new Pizza Tracker.

The Pizza Tracker is like one of those agonizing bars you get when you're downloading or installing software to your computer, except this time when the bar fills up, you have a hot and cheesy pizza in a box instead of some lame computer app on your desktop. As it progresses through preparation, baking, boxing, and delivery, the bar fills up, so you always know exactly where your pie is -- though that last "delivery" phase of the bar is a bit long and vague. We'd like to see some real-time GPS look-ups for Pizza Tracker 2.0.

Heat-Sensitive Coffee Mug Tells You When It's Safe to Drink



Proving yet again that we haven't run out of good ideas (as a species), the folks at Charles and Marie (we'll call them "Charles and Marie") have released one of the most logical items we've seen in some time. Like Sunday mornings, it's easy: The mug turns from off to on when filled with hot liquid, and then goes back to off when your beverage is drinkable again.

25 bucks is a bit on the pricey side for a coffee mug, but for the perpetual tongue burners among you (you know who you are), it's easily worth the investment in your taste buds.

Assuming it works.
