Comments on: TiVo, Domino's team up to make us all fat

A product placement deal means that whenever TiVo users see a Domino's Pizza ad, they can go ahead and order some pizza. Mmm, pizza. There's also an on-demand ordering screen.

Go Italian with Papa Johns if you want to talk about this kind of stuff. I wanted their 2 pizza italian deal I saw on TV and called by phone, only to find out the store manager couldn't take my order by voice but online only. She said "we don't even have to talk about it" - it's interesting, as you may or may not know, Papa Johns has always been a cash transaction business from the beginning. My experience online? Terrible! I kept getting complicated server errors (code?) back after I ordered, so I had to call the store to resolve. She said the order came through to them, though i didn't have a clue how much or any other details. So, in the end we ended up talking about it. Here's the future folks!

If you don't like Domino's you can always eat the pizza box, it tastes better.

People still eat Domino's?

There's never been a Domino's near where I grew up. I actually thought all of them closed when I stopped seeing commercials for it. This is a huge surpized to me.

How much bandwidth are you using for this service? Is this another thing that sucks up the increasingly capped bandwidth?

"Is this another thing that sucks up the increasingly capped bandwidth?"

The cap is 250GB. I don't know anyone that has any practical use to go over that. PS you don't have to use this...

This seems pretty dumb. I'm all for technological change, but it's still faster to dial them up and order what you want.

How about we focus on technological changes that actually make sense?
