Oct 10 2007Real Life External Recycle Bin, Just Because

The Tempo 250GB External Recycling Bin is exactly what it sounds like. Whenever you delete files they're automatically copied to the Tempo drive. As you throw more stuff away, the blue LEDs on the outside of the bin fill up too, indicating how much of the drive is used. While it may be useful for getting back that porno movie your girlfriend found and made you delete, I don't see much use for this thing. And seeing how I'm a government spy and all, I don't think they'd be too thrilled to find out the files I'm “deleting” are actually being stored in what appears to be a high tech coffee cup.

i wonder if these "first" cunts are going (notice: future tense) to shout "first" at their poor unsuspecting partner when they get laid for the very first time

Why not just start the numbering at an arbitary number.

This is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. Fortunetly it also works as a regular external drive.

If Mr. Geekologie is reading, e-mail me. I would literally be willing to spend part of my day, each and every day, deleting comments like #1 from the site until these assholes learn that it's not big, nor clever. Anticlown sites will be a better place when people start discussing the actual content and not shouting about being first. To pieces of shit like #1, this site might as well be rotten.com, and this article might as well be pictures of a stillborn baby. Nothing matters beyond their comment, and it annoys me (as you *may* have guessed).
