nick hates software: Photo Booth

  Good idea: Mirroring the live webcam feed, so that one doesn't get confused
             about left and right
  Bad idea:  Saving the photos out to disk still mirrored
  
  
  Makes it somewhat less than useful as a quick way to take pictures of things.
  
  Oh. I found an option to flip photo...
  And to auto flip all new photos...
  
  Which turned my existing photo blank, gave me the pizza of death, and now
  I have a little dialogue "The application Photo Booth quit unexpectedly"
  
  How sweet.

  PS And where's the preferences option to turn this off? Where's the preferences
     setting full stop? Doesn't that break Apple's own guidelines?

  I like calling it "the pinwheel of death".

  We always called it the "Spinning Pizza Of Death" or SPOD. SPOD is also a verb.
  "Safari spodded me. Hate! Hate! Hate!"

  A ball of swirling colours. "Safari's tripping... again."
