  3.  @DAVID-io9nj - the archival of photos on Kodak PhotoCD was an interesting product in film development stores, but it never took off. I drove people regularly to the local film store, until I did not, I did not even think about it, to be quite honest with you. What a shame. I suppose it should have been sold with every film development opportunity… …but then, Kodak should have had something to do with the PhotoCD’s — like a jukebox to put them in, index & order like a library catalog, play on a TV or video monitor, attach the printer to it. Eventually, connecting the internet to it. Could have been used for medical uses, educational uses, consumer, etc. Later, sell bigger jukeboxes, later converge onto hard drives & flash, later to the cloud. The film stores should have been the retail places to release each of these phases. The PC today, is tied to operating systems that must get upgraded, building an appliance could have simplified the market. I am tied to a Mac, where I have to upgrade my machine every so many number of years, just for my photos. I have to do so, now as we speak, because my phone is no longer compatible with my old MacOS and the hardware does not support a new OS update… so I go to an Apple Store, for my photo storage update needs.

  4.  @moeskido - RIM/Blackberry had a different problem. Their secret sauce was their communications network. Businesses & Government & Military saw them as their go-to product. One day, there was an outage, and people could not use their phones… for business, government, military. Their marketing reps came in with BlackBerry branded drinking cups, pens, etc. That was a good attempt, but we all knew that was the end. When one has a company, one can never fail on their secret sauce… botulism kills the customer.
