The domestic applications of remote control technology have hitherto been sensory and/or atmospheric: pressing a button changes the channel, raises the volume, lowers the blinds, or turns up the A/C.

Inventor John W. Cornwell is changing that. And while the actual application of his first foray into the field is somewhat ignoble--his remote-controlled beer launching 'fridge fires cans of Bud from the kitchen to the couch--I suppose it is technically revolutionary, as it uses remote control to physically deliver a product into your hand.

These devices may actually go into production, so bachelors with bank, take note: for $1,500 you won't have to be the only thing in your house that throws up beer.
