App Happy

The impossible-t0-find-in-the-first-place film cartridges may cost more than it does to feed and sustain a single individual, but Polaroid-lovers, pinch pennies no longer!  The Internet has swooped in once more to rescue the poor and lowly; introducing Poladroid, an application that turns your boring old point-and-shoot 'pics' into those hopelessly classic photographs of days gone by.
But don't think it's all peaches and cream now that your Polaroid camera is on your desktop, you've still got to wait for those babies to develop, and don't even think about more than ten shots at once- when you've used up your cartridge you have to close the program and relaunch it.  Also, contrary to the catchy but perhaps not the wisest words of Andre 3000 and Big Boi, do not shake it like a Polaroid picture.  In real life, this often releases chemicals into the photograph and spoils the whole thing.  In the cyber world, you're just being plain old ridiculous.
