4 Steph Parke July 22, 2008 at 9:42 am: And now that the new owners of Polaroid have switched from small chemical-based films to poorly made (read: quickly disposed) digital cameras, tvs and microwaves that clearly take up more space in landfills, I’m guessing that’s the best direction a company could take. 3.5×5″ flat chemical squares vs. 30″ televisions. Good call.
