Anyone that has ever dumped a serious pile of important files, or hastily wiped out a hard-earned collection of *ahem* important images is going to appreciate the Tempo Digital Recycle Bin.




The idea is simple - the bin syncs up to your computer via Bluetooth, and every time you delete something. Anything. It is stored safely within its 250GB vault. That puts your files out of harms way, but keeps them lurking around should you suddenly realize that you got a little too frisky with the delete key.

But it goes beyond functionality, and is actually quite a pleasing object to have sitting on your desk. Technobob reports that:

"Created by industrial designer Franco Cagnina for Intech, the tempo connects via Bluetooth to your Mac or PC and automatically stores backup copies of files as you delete them. As you fill the drive, a series of colored LEDs on the side of the device indicates how full the "bin" is.

This is one way to solve a lot of future headaches, lost hair and slapped foreheads, which can only be a good thing.
