Kodak had its moments

Kodak filed for bankruptcy.

It certainly had its moment. It is a 132-year-old company who pioneered the film. Alas no one is buying films these days. Just about everyone is using digital camera. Perhaps even the digital camera is getting out dated, replaced by fancy phones instead.

Is it Kodak not keeping up with technology? Well they had their own digital cameras too. Although you probably have a Canon or Nikon instead. My first bulky digital camera (10 years ago!) was a Kodak. It appeared to cost less than the Japanese models but it required that base (which actually costed me more money). It makes fairly dcent pictures. Sorry, the Canon was just sleaker and cooler and I didn't buy a Kodak ever since.

A giant for decades can swirl down to bankruptcy.

Microsoft, are you afraid, very afraid to get the same fate?
