Comment FB = failing big (Score 1) 130

facebook is doing a lot that people do not like. they do not care. they will not change and that's a problem. HUGE problem. Timeline: terrible. privacy: not private. they still have those cookies that track you even when you sign out. you have to think, Mark Z hacked Harvard's computer system, was successful and hired hackers as his first staff when facebook was blossoming. THEY ARE HACKERS. They are so good that they not only change their base code for the site, they created their own language for FB. That's nuts and scary. the thing that i hate the most, is the fact that law enforcement is allowed to send warrants via txt and inbox on FB. That alone, constitutionally violates peoples' rights. police and federal law enforcement do not have a face or leg to stand on in our online lives, because anonymity reigns online more than sensitive personal info. that is what is going to be a topic of discussion throughout the year. that is what will define the actual valuation of FB: privacy, cookie tracking after logout and the police. these things have to be marginalized, no matter what. that's just me.

that is a good point too, but they never had a fight in the digital space, even then, because if they did, then that would have took the place their film production in some way, if not the whole way. when you are a company and you have a medium that you use to drive sales and you ignore or are slow to produce quality products you get a kodak as a result. if they had any ground in the digital space, they would have never gone bankrupt. and if they did, it would have just been a matter of the quality, not film. At sporting events, you never see a kodak, unless it's from the audience. other than that, you see canons, nikons and some sony's. i feel whether they seen digital or not, they were still lax on make better cameras. there a crap ton of factors that were alongside sticking to just film production that killed their growth. now that they are gone as kodak, i wonder if people will still call good moments to take pictures kodak moments, lol..

good point, but i feel that their printers were terrible too. They are not a printer company or printer heavy, like lexmark or even HP. They also only made the printers for their cameras, or at least the quality was a slave to the kodak cameras themselves. Thing is, the cameras' they made were never really all that great, even from the beginning. kodak was at one time the Wal-Mart of cameras. you could literally buy a camera out of a vending machine. There are STILL cameras like that in the U S and places like japan and europe still have these camera vending machines. that is the level of quality they were willing stoop to, in order to sell cameras. I don't think i have even seen a digital system camera from them, let alone a micro 4/3 compact digital system camera like Lumix, leica and Sony's NEX series cameras. they, for some reason never wandered in this territory, which became very dismal for kodak fast.
