Eastman Kodak to cut 1,000 more jobs

Bankrupt Eastman Kodak said it will cut 1,000 additional jobs by the end of this year and may cut more as it focuses on its commercial packaging and printing business. 

The company, which invented the digital camera but had trouble adjusting to the digital age, has already reduced its workforce by about 2,700 worldwide since the beginning of 2012. 

Kodak also said Chief Operating Officer Philip Faraci and Chief Financial Officer Antoinette McCorvey will leave the company, which filed for bankruptcy protection in January. 

Spotify could have browser based version coming soon

Spotify is every bit a modern music service except for one thing: in order to use it on a PC or Mac, you have to download an application. That may be no big deal for users of smartphones or tablets (who seem to enjoy Spotify’s mobile apps), but it’s still a little weird on a desktop or laptop, and so a report that Spotify plans to release a browser-based version of its service makes a fair amount of sense.

Techcrunch reported Saturday that Spotify–the brainchild of Sean Parker and Daniel Elk–will release a web service in the near future that would allow users to log into their Spotify accounts from any PC or Mac and stream music. The report said that the service will likely add a few new music-discovery features as well.

Kindle Fire HD First impressions

Amazon's new Kindle Fire HD boasts a much more vibrant screen than the original tablet that came out about a year ago. That makes buying movies and TV shows to watch on the device a lot more appealing. 

The screen is such a major improvement that I can't see why you would purchase the upgraded non-HD older model, even if it means saving $40. The new offering brings the new Kindle Fire HD into closer competition with Apple's market-leading iPad, which introduced a higher resolution screen earlier this year.
