Kodak suffered under extremely poor management for at least the last two decades. The refusal to change with the times (like trying to shelve digital cameras to protect film sales) and selling off their profitable departments (like medical imaging) for short term gains have left them with almost nothing of value. I'm not sure how much of what is left is worth restructuring. At this point, creditors, shareholders, and retirees might be better off with a liquidation sale.

KeePass 1.x and Dropbox. Both are available for just about every OS and smartphone made. KeePass also has a built in password generator that can be configured to handle length and content requirements. I can use my work computer, my home computers, my android smartphone, and even a guest computer to access and manage my passwords to anything.

I read it more as a lament that they have been in that space for a long time (in their eyes anyhow) and never were able to sell that many. Of course, Microsoft's version of a tablet was a laptop with a stylus and touchscreen that folded over and ran plain old Windows. Just like their original idea of a smartphone was a phone running a slimmed down version of plain old windows.

If satellite radio owners don't like the content a station they carry produces, they don't have to air it. If Apple doesn't like the "product" a developer creates, it doesn't have to carry it. Apple is likely banning other mobile OS owners because it would be like handing over all sorts of intimate knowledge about ownership and usage of the iOS platform to the competition. It's not like they are banning ads outright or even any ad network that is not their own.

It may be your iPhone, but it is still Apple's AppStore and services you use. Anyone is free to create web apps instead of native apps and web ads instead of native ads still. It's a bit like a local radio station or listener demanding their station to be available on satellite radio because it is the radio owner's stereo, not the satellite radio company's.
