Posted by Stephen Shankland
Google hasn't yet launched Google Voice publicly, but this week it took a step in that direction by starting to extend invitations to those who signed up on a waiting list for the Net-augmented telephone service. Read more |  | Social media will not get me to eat your gross pizza
Posted by Caroline McCarthy
I smell a trend, and it smells like greasy pepperoni: Pizza chains Domino's and Pizza Hut both put out announcements on Thursday concerning their new social-media publicity strategies. In other words, there are new ways to bring the habit of stuffing one's face with mediocre pizza into one's ever-increasingly digital lifestyle. Read more | | Boxee comes to Windows, inks MLB deal

As start-up pitches go, "Never run out of toilet paper" isn't the most compelling I've heard.

This lets the device maintain a constant connection with Apple's servers to provide that neat-o, real-time tracking and instant receipt of messages you send it.
