Marketed in Korea, this USB Fishtank is the perfect thing for a desk jockey that's too lazy to actually turn and take care of its fish. See, the USB connection hooks up to a software suite with a virtual fishtank, and whatever you do on the software fishtank—make bubbles, change the water temperature, or monitor the filter device—will be replicated in the actual fish tank.
Best of all, there's a monitor built into the tank so you can avoid even looking at it. Why not just cut out the actual fish tank and make this thing a software-only affair?
A computer raises fishes? [AVING]

LOL
Some idiot is going to assume that you don't need to clean the tank because the computer takes care of everything.
What does that big flashing skull mean?
Does it come with a laser zapping game? You know, so you can zap the fish on the PC and it will actually zap the fish in the tank. That would be cool.
This is the kind of stuff we need to see on Gizmodo more often!
and to xeno, of course. We can build a computer that completely controls a fishtank, monitors the filter, adjusts the tempurature. We can make robots that talk to people! But we can't make anything that would actually do the USEFUL job of cleaning a fishtank.
