Getting fast food delivered to your hotel room during a business trip isn't particularly hard, it's just annoying sometimes to stop in the middle of typing on the laptop to stop, find out what kind of places are available, find their number, and call them. Since my wireless laptop knows where it is and the restaurants know where they are, it should be possible to have a toolbar dynamically build itself when I turned the machine on. Then when I got hungry I could just click on the Pizza Hut icon (or whatever) and place my order. (In primitive places you'd still have to stop typing and actually call them on the phone, but at least their number would be handy.)

But, does your wireless laptop know where it is? [contracts, Feb 28 2005]

       [longshot9999], I assume that this idea is spawned from the new feature in Everquest that I've seen reported on the news - - you type "/pizza" and the software sends you to the Pizza Hut website where you place your order online. [link]

       contracts - Now that I think of it, I do remember reading something about the online gaming link to Pizza Hut. Didn't know it was in Everquest though since I've never played the game.

       I've never played it either but it has gotten a lot of press in all the sweaty-nerd e-zines I do so love to read. It seems sort of horrific, in a way. All they need now is waste-disposal hardware and the addicts will never have to get out of the chair.

       This only requires a GPS and a window to the stars to find where you are and where the eateries are. ours tells us location of hotels, restaurants, etc.   

       couldn't this become part of a laptop?

       This does give me a good idea, though, longshot - - Latitude/Longitude Pizza Delivery.   

       "Pizza in the park? No problem; call em up on the cellphone, give them your coordinates, and let them know they'll need to be on a bike unless they want to walk to 38° 53' 20" North by 77° 2' 6" West."   

       Like Geocaching with delivery drivers.

       I like everything but the viral marketing aspect.

       Latitude longtitude pizza. But how will they know which floor I'm on?   

       Anyway, I just wanted to say that the name pizza hut plugin gave me visions of:   

       A Pizza.   

       A blender.   

       A bit of tubing.   

       A needle.

       Bike? No, I want my pizza air delivered. Load up the chopper and toss it out when it flies over my location.

       I like this... then I can develop and sell the long awaited "pizza blocker" software.
