Slow Appearing Photos and "Quick" Time Units

With the impending death of Polaroid, much action is surrounding the brand. Some are trying to revive Polaroid by buying a factory that used to manufacture the film, while others are bring Polaroids into the digital age. Here is one such example: The Digital Polaroid Frame. It is just a digital frame like you see from Kodak and other brands, but this one's frame is the special part. Here is a "clipping" from the original article:
"The design incorporates retro features such as a “Classic” mode where the photos gradually appear over about a minute or so, just like a real Polaroid photo; while “Standard” mode functions like any other digital picture frame. The bottom portion of the frame features a dry erase surface, so you can write your own title for your slideshow by hand, using a dry erase marker."
I like that it has the option for "Classic" mode. Although the gradual appearance might be annoying. I think it would be neat if they could make the part on the bottom for writing digital too. So name of the photo file would show up in a handwriting-like font. Also, I am trying to find a price for this, but nothing is coming up.

Interesting fact for the Day: "Back in a Jiffy!"
A "jiffy" is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second.

Also, I was listening to Adele's "Make You Feel My Love" and it reminded me of Billy Joel. Then I realized that I had written about that before... I mustn't be too crazy, if I think of it twice! :P
