Polaroid: RIP Washington Post: "Polaroid, based in Waltham, Mass., is shutting down factories in the United States and abroad as the company abandons the technology that made the instant photo possible, the Boston Globe reported yesterday. The company will cease production of its film by next year."

Great, another piece of dead technology that will make my kids think I'm an old man - because I used it, way back then, in the dark ages.
