Domino’s new online pizza tracking system will allow hungry customers to keep tabs their pizza from the moment they place the order up until the moment it leaves the store—and it is accurate to 40 seconds. The service even gives customers the first names of the workers who take their phone order and deliver their pizza, so slackers will have to shape up or ship out. Unfortunately, the tracker stops short of keeping tabs on the drivers when they are in route, so the time it takes for their beater car to sputter to your door may still be tense for impatient pizza lovers.

Interestingly enough, part of the ordering process involves an oath that asks you to “agree to use the Domino’s Pizza Tracker to only track your own Domino’s Pizza orders.” So apparently it is possible to engage is some sort of shady pizza fraud scheme. At any rate, the system will go up today at 3,400 Domino’s outlets and will be in all stores by June 30. The only question is, will the novelty of being able to know when your order is put in to the oven, boxed, and shipped enough to get you to choke down one of their God awful pizzas?

“Senior industry sources” are making the bold claim that Dell and Google are going to announce a joint effort to make THE GOOGLE PHONE at the 3GSM conference in February. That sounds unlikely to us, and with Dell’s history of putting their name on other people’s gadgets (the iPod, for example), so if anything it’s probably just another manufacturer announcing that they’ll make an Android phone. What else could be announced at a phone conference? [MarketingWeek]

Contrary to recent rumors, Sony Europe has denied that a 120GB PS3 is in the works. Here is the word straight from the horse’s mouth.

“We do not currently have any plans to release a 120GB PlayStation 3 in the UK”

But what about outside of the UK? What about a 160GB PS3? Maybe there is still hope. [Ubergizmo]

Making your fake guitar automatically whammy may be a step too far, but if you want to make Guitar Hero slightly easier for yourself, check out these guitar pedals. They’re wireless, which is nice, but PS2 only, which isn’t nice, and run off 4 AA batteries, which really isn’t nice. But they allow you to either activate star power or hit the whammy bar with your feet instead of your hands, making sure your hands stay exactly where they’re supposed to be to not miss a note. The price of kinda-sorta cheating? $25. [Best Buy via Joystiq]
