I hope it turns out there's a market for Polaroid. Sometimes older, simpler product fade back in to popularity, much like how LPs are bigger now than they were 10 years ago. I'd like it if this were the case.

It will be a hipster fashion article more then anything else I think.

should both go one sale by the middle of 2010

Is anyone else noticing a lot more typos in articles and blogs lately? Can these respected publications not afford copy editing anymore? The typo above is obvious and in the first sentence. How can no one have noticed and corrected it by now?

I don't like the word "hipster". It's meaningless. It really is.

I don't care who uses it. What I care about is that it exists. There's a special quality to Polaroid photos that I'd hate to see go, even if I'd understand if it did.

Well, Versace shades made it back, thanks to celebrities and their groupies. If a famous person is spotted by TMZ with a Polaroid camera, then it's ON.

I think we have outed a hipster.

The UK Guardian used to be so noteworthy for its typos that it was nicknamed the Grauniad... this isn't new.

What the fuck does that even mean? My saying I don't think hipster is really a meaningful term, that makes me a hipster? Because hating hipsters makes you a hipster, too. Hipsters hate hipsters. But if I liked hipsters, then I'd have to be a hipster, because hipsters are so loathsome that only a hipster would love a hipster. It's a derivative and pathetic version of the Red Scare.

Not only will it bring back an analogue version of the original Polaroid One, the most popular model of the instant camera, it will also manufacture a digital version.

Is the "Polaroid Two" instant digital camera made by Polaroid imaginary, or something?
