It’s A Cup. No, It’s A Hard Drive. No, It’s A Cup

I’ve got a problem with designer Franco Marino Cagnina’s external hard drive concept. It’s not the fact that it’s 100% recyclable which gets to me, that’s just fine and dandy. It’s the fact that it looks exactly like a cup which really bothers me.

That’s not to say I don’t approve of a design change over the traditional square box with cables that is typical of most hard drives. I know, by looking at this design, that it’d be mistaken for my morning coffee and dumped in the trash with the rest of the garbage. So much for my terabytes of porn.
