If you're a frequent traveler and have held off on getting a pet because you don't want to have to worry about someone else taking care of it while you're gone, your problems are solved. At least if you consider fish a good pet, as this thing isn't going to help the dog and cat lovers out there. Give it time.

The oddly-named "Cornfish" aquarium hooks up to the internet and allows you to keep tabs on your fishy friends from afar. You can watch what's going on via the built-in webcam, control the filter, bubbles, and water temperature via the Internet. It's a great way to stay in touch with your boring pet, no matter where you are. And hey, I'm sure someone's working on some way for you to do the same with a dog. — Adam Frucci
