All Giz Wants: The One True Internet Pizza Ordering App Framework
Today was a very special day in pizza tech news. First, Dominos, oh boy Dominos: you've automated pizza ordering and delivery in a way that I never specifically thought about, but now that it's out, have already welcomed as a new sign that humans are making progress in this world. You can now order, pay for and track delivery of a pizza from a graphical menu on your TiVo. And on top of that, a free medium Papa John's pie can be yours via its now-painfully-antiquated web delivery system all for becoming a fan of PJ's on Facebook. More »

All Giz Wants: A Gaming PC With the Soul of a Console
As grown-up and burly as this generation of consoles has become, we still like doing some of our gaming on the PC, especially when it comes to first-person shooters. But our ultimate gaming PC isn't what's come to typify the phrase "gaming PC." We don't want some tricked out, neon Barad-dûr bullshit dominating our desktop. More » -

All Giz Wants: One Plug For Everything
Come with us into the world of fantasy, where there's just one kind of plug and its associated cable that will work for every electronic device. What we would like to see is one cable that carries audio, video and power to or from whatever device you need to use. It needs to be small, it needs to have tremendous bandwidth (perhaps using fiber optics), and it needs to be smart enough not to ruin anything you plug it into. It sure would beat the alphabet soup we have to deal with now.

All Giz Wants: A Real Universal Remote
All Giz Wants isn't about wanting what we have now. It's about wanting what we should have now, what's technically possible but practically improbable. Here's an item I've been (wet) dreaming about for some time—a universal remote that's really universal. I don't mean to control both a Blu-ray player and an HD DVD player. I mean to control my TV, computer and the air popper. More » -

All Giz Wants: Video Headsets That Don't Suck
When it comes to watching movies, nothing beats sitting in front of a large HDTV. The catch is, not all of us can afford one. That's where video headsets come in. Devices like Olympus' now defunct EyeTrek that promise panorama-like viewing experiences from a pair of goggles. The problem is they all suck. Headplay says they're working on an HD unit, but watching flicks on the current model has been likened to watching movies on a ViewMaster. More » -

All Giz Wants: Mac Clones Again
Why, oh why can't there be Mac clones again? The quality of Mac hardware has been steadily declining, and if a user is devoted to OS X and no other, there's no choice for hardware but Apple. More »

All Giz Wants: The Netflix Set-Top Box
I, for one, am sick of having to get up off my ass to get new movies to watch. Sure, it's gotten easier since the days that had me driving to the video store to rent a movie (remember video stores? How quaint.), but it's not easy enough. I still need to mail movies back to Netflix and wait a few days for the next film on my list to arrive. Bah! More »
