Ordering pizza from the comfort of your couch while watching your favorite television shows on DVR is now a realization. That is, if you’ve got a TiVo. Now that Netflix has bailed TiVo out, TiVo is getting smart by offering its customers a crucial feature that’ll prevent them from leaving their seat: pizza.

A new Domino’s widget is available for US TiVo subscribers that allows you to order pizza right from your television. Sure it’s ridiculously awesome, yet absurd, but while it might not be as lazy as ordering Pizza Hut while playing Everquest II, it certainly will make shows like The Shield more enjoyable, if that’s even possible.

I’ve never seen a Slinky suit like this one. I’m not even entirely convinced there is a person inside that thing. I’m thinking it’s a rainbow turd from another planet which was sent here to amuse the Japanese. Everything amuses the Japanese.

Honestly, no human being can move their legs like that. It’s definitely a rainbow alien turd. I thought a Slinky desk lamp was weird but I guess I haven’t even broken the surface.

With T-Mobile just now rolling out it’s 3G network, it’s pretty apparent that the US is lacking in awesome technology. Japan and other Asian countries get to watch mobile broadcast television via DVB-T or 1-SEG, which can make a morning commute a lot more entertaining. Unfortunately, iPhone users have been left in the dark - until now.

Released in conjunction with a free iPhone application, this 1-SEG TV tuner will hook up to your iPhone and will provide you with up to three hours of TV viewing. It even has a built-in battery to help you get some extra life out of your iPhone. It’ll run you 10,000 yen or about $100. Not a bad deal for television on the go and a lot cheaper than the iTunes Music Store.

Head on over to Woot, where $5 will get you a decent Philips universal remote called the Icon 5.

Just saying!

Just because you don’t have HBO on your tube doesn’t mean you have to miss out on all the premiere programming HBO has to offer like The Sopranos, Sex and the City, Entourage, Rome and The Wire.

HBO and Apple are teaming up to offer HBO shows for download on the iTunes Music Store in the UK. Each individual episode will only cost you around $3.37 but buying the entire season is also an option.  It’s exciting to see how the iTunes store is expanding everyday, but if they are going to sell HBO series’, why not do it in the USA?

Thunderbirds, the gadget packed British 1960’s sci-fi puppet TV show, may be coming back on the air. Gerry Anderson, who created the show with his wife Sylvia told reporters that he’s in talks to bring back the series 32 years after it’s last episode.

A few years ago, the phrase DVR meant TiVo. If you were recording TV shows, you were TiVoing. Times changed, TiVo panicked and the company stopped offering lifetime subscriptions. Ever since then, TiVo’s charisma has been flawed and the company has been offering extras to subscribers to placate them year after year.

Thankfully, the company has realized the error of its ways and will now offer lifetime subscriptions again. Unfortunately, the price-tag that comes with it isn’t all that great. Be prepared to shell out $399. Not only that, the subscription is box-specific, meaning that you can’t upgrade to that Series 3 without shelling out more bucks.
