Quick Links for Nov 17th
Here are some interesting links from today:
- Firefox 3.1 gets tab tearing
The latest Firefox 3.1 development release features the announced option for tab tearing: drag a tab out of its current window, and it is removed and opened on a new one, providing a more intuitive way to organize your web browsing. - TiVo, Domino’s team up to make us all fat
Here's the deal: when a Domino's ad or product placement shows up, TiVo users can click through with their remote controls to order pizza, or can access an on-demand ordering screen through a TiVo menu. It's similar in theory to the deals that TiVo has with Fandango for movie ticket ordering or with Amazon.com for ordering products related to TV shows, except that you get a pizza. - Slydial Makes It Even Easier To Avoid Awkward Human Interaction
a free service that lets you dial any mobile phone number and get directed straight to voicemail. It may sound counterintuitive, but it can be a godsend for avoiding awkward phone conversations - I’ve had it saved in my phone’s ‘Favorites’ menu since the service launched (though I’ve never used it, honest).
