Why do they even go through the trouble of giving out disposable glasses anyway? Why not just sell ones to keep? To justify the price hike?

Here’s today’s depressing tweet, courtesy of the WSJ’s Dennis Berman: Kodak, which historically pioneered personal photography and employs almost 20,000 people, closed at an all time low, and “is now worth $468m, or $330m less than 50-person, profitless Tumblr.”

ronworkman:
kimrom: I feel interactive digital entertainment could be vastly superior to passive entertainment like movies and television. But it’s not. Not in its current state. And part of the reason why it is not, is because the industry doesn’t give their products polish. I am not sure if this is because they are incapable of doing so, or because the industry as a whole just doesn’t care.

In repsonse to aatombomb’s and approachingsignificance’s post about Troy Davis, I propose we DO SOMETHING about it that takes 30 seconds.
