Recycle bin hard drive stores your deletions, mimics a trash can

We'll admit, it does seem a bit unnecessary to purchase an external hard drive that reserves its space for your deleted files, but if it looks this good, we can't help but be awed. Designed by Franco Cagnina, the Tempo concept is a 250GB hard drive that somehow resides in a trash can-shaped enclosure, and as expected, stores every single byte that you (haphazardly or otherwise) direct to File 13. The standout feature, however, are the blue LEDs that creep up the can as you add more and more junk to the heap. Well played, Franco, well played.

Does Oscar the Grouch pop out of the trash can? If it does that, I'm sold.

*Tempo is just a concept. It hasn't been technologically designed.... never going to be made...
