"Hungry startup uses robots to grab slice of pizza"

"We're going to eliminate boring, repetitive, dangerous jobs, and we're going to free up people to do things that are higher value," said co-founder Alex Garden, a former Microsoft manager and president of mobile game maker Zynga Studios.
"We automate those repetitive tasks, so that we can spend more money on higher quality ingredients," said Julia Collins, Zume's CEO and cofounder. "There will always be a model here at Zume where robots and humans work together to create delicious food."

Charity Suzuki regularly uses the Zume mobile app to order pizza. She isn't bothered by the robot cooks.

"It's delicious. It's always hot and fresh when it comes," Suzuki said. "I can't tell the difference that it's made by a robot versus a human."

Groundhog Day: Sky is showing a 24-hour marathon of the movie to celebrate


Independent: Today (2 February) is Groundhog Day, the traditional Pennsylvania holiday lived over and over by Bill Murray in the 1993 comedy of the same name.

The schedulers over at Sky sensed an opportunity and are planning on airing the film. Not just once or twice, mind - they're airing the film 13 times in a row.

If you're a die-hard Groundhog Day fan, you'll want to set your alarm for 6:40 AM - that's when the first showing is due to begin - and be prepared to remain awake for quite some time; the final airing is due to finish a whole 24 hours later.

If it's Sonny and Cher's "I Got You Babe" that wakes you up first thing, however, might we suggest you cancel those marathon plans.
The cult comedy was directed by the late Harold Ramis and follows Bill Murray's weatherman who is caught in a time warp, doomed to relive the same day over until he gets it right.
