This Polaroid 2 camera looks to be a great buy. Its a great combination between a digital camera and the old favorite, Polaroid.
From the firebox website:
Combining the instant fun of an old school Polaroid camera with the groundbreaking technology of the smash hit PoGo Printer, this 5.0 mega pixel snapper does exactly what it says on the tin; takes a picture then ejects a print on a 2”x3” slice of sticky-back photo paper.
The whole process takes about forty seconds and, unlike the Polaroid cameras of yesteryear, you can dispense with duds by checking your efforts via the 3” LCD screen. You can also crop pics before printing, add borders, remove red-eye and print dates.
Throw in an electronic timer, movie mode with sound, rechargeable battery (15 prints per full charge) and 4x digital zoom and you’re looking at a camera that’s guaranteed to elicit oohs and aahs every time you pull it out. And let’s be honest, taking Polaroids has always been about other people’s reactions, good or otherwise: “If you don’t rip that up right now…”
Would you buy one?

According to Microsoft, they released the RC for Windows 7. Entertaining thing about it, it expires June 1st 2010 but on March 1st 2010, it will begin to shut down your system every two hours as a “friendly reminder” from Microsoft to upgrade to the purchased copy.
- Watch the calendar. - The RC will expire on June 1, 2010. Starting on March 1, 2010, your PC will begin shutting down every two hours. Windows will notify you two weeks before the bi-hourly shutdowns start. To avoid interruption, you’ll need to install a non-expired version of Windows before March 1, 2010. You’ll also need to install the programs and data that you want to use
As if the “Your updates are installed and your system must restart for them to take effect” reminder wasn’t annoying enough…
