Polaroid Pictures

I found an interesting application for my computer. It makes any picture you have look like a Polaroid and it's called Poladroid. It's pretty fun to play around with. It puts a little Polaroid camera on your desktop when you click the icon and then you just drag and drop your picture/s onto it and it prints out your little polaroid (complete with sound!) and you watch it "develop". When it's done "developing", it puts it right into your Pictures folder (don't worry, it does nothing to the original file). Drawbacks: it won't let you crop or choose which bit of the original you want in the square, and it takes a while to "develop," which is annoying if you're impatient.
Anyway, it's pretty fun, and I messed around with it for a bit this morning. The product:

I think my favorite is the last one.
