NEW YORK--Apple and Google, bitter rivals in smartphone technology, have joined up to make a combined bid for a bundle of patents offered by photography pioneer Kodak, according to a published report. Bloomberg News reported Saturday that Apple Inc. and Google Inc. have abandoned competing bids for the portfolio to offer a combined $500 million. The sum is the minimum Kodak can sell the patents for and still get an $830 million loan that’s crucial to getting the company out of bankruptcy. Apple and Google declined to comment on the report. A Kodak representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Kodak filed for bankruptcy protection in January after struggling to adapt to the world of digital photography.

Shortly before the death of Steve Jobs in 2011, President Barack Obama asked the Apple CEO what it would take to make !Phones in the United States. Jobs told the president then, "Those jobs aren't coming back." That left a bad taste in a lot of people's mluths. It certainly did nothing to raise the hopes of a renaissance in American manufacturing. It only advanced the thought that China was becoming what America once was: the manufacturing giant of the world. Not so fast. The fact is, the United States is still manufacturing many things. Look at the rebirth of the U.S. auto industry for a good example. Now, the new CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, offers more hopeful news. He told Brian Williams on "Rock Center" Thursday, that for…

THE WALKING DEAD: ASSAULT Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 4.3 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5. Price: $2.99 Genre: Strategy Released: Nov 27, 2012 Version: 1.0 Size: 207 MB Language: English Seller: Skybound LLC View in iTunes Preview I’m a huge Walking Dead fan. From the comics to the AMC television hit, I just can’t get enough of the dramatic, pseudo-realistic, postapocalyptic storyline. It’s gritty, imaginative, and it blows the lid off what we considered to be the traditional zombie scenario. The Walking Dead has burst forward into what could only be described as an overly saturated market of doomsday theories and plague-induced hysteria. But the show broke the mold, giving us a glimpse into what it would be like to actually live…

SYDNEY-Australian police are warning that Apple's much-maligned mapping application is stranding drivers headed to the southern city of Mildura in the middle of a remote state park. Victoria state police said Tuesday that an error in Apple's Maps service places the city of Mildura about 70 kilomters (44 miles) away in the Murray Sunset National Park. The park is a desert-like 5,000-square-kilometer(l,900-square-mile) region with scorching temperatures and virtually no mobile phone reception. Police have been forced to rescue distressed drivers. Some were stranded for 24 hours with no food or water and have walked long distances through tough terrain to access phone reception. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment. CEO Tim Cook apologized in September and said the map service "fell short" of Apple's standards. Source:…

Lately, we've become used to seeing technological advances in computers and mobile devices. Things change so quickly that the average person can't keep up with it. The minute you walk out of the door of your cell phone carrier's store with a new phone, it's already yesterday's model. The excitement of the iPhone 5 release, followed so quickly by the release of the !Pad Mini a month later, stole the 5's thunder, and a month after that people were talking about a possible !Phone 5S release in the very near future. That's the speed of technological advances. But the speed of technology affects us in other ways as well. Technological advances are also available at the movie theater. It just doesn't hit at the same pace as we see it…

PREMIUM RUSH by David Koepp Genre: Action & Adventure Released: 2012 Price: $14.99 View in iTunes Preview In busier cities with traffic nearly at a standstill at certain hours, and with gas prices climbing to outrageous rates, bicycle messengers have become a great method for quick inner city deliveries.

FACEBOOK SHARES: TO HELL AND BACK Analysts and investors have endured a bumpy ride when it comes to shares of Facebook, Inc. (NASDAQ: FB). The ubiquitous social media tool, which went public back in May of this year, has seen its stock price languish as tech analysts have squawked over its revenue model. However, the stock has recently staged a remarkable comeback, hitting $28 per share at the end of November and staying above $25 since—this after spending 4 months hovering around the $20 mark. Additionally, the stock joined the NASDAQ 100 index on Wednesday; a vote of confidence of sorts as only those companies (non-financial) with the largest market capitalization traded on ■ NASDAQ can participate. Facebook's Initial Public Offering was eventful, to say the least. One of the…

No doubt that the end of 2012 is coming with a lot less cheer in the Apple universe than was hoped for. Yes, Apple Corporation shares are up over 35% Year-To-Date but have had a stomach cleansing drop of about 25% over the past quarter. Depending on when you purchased Apple stock you could either see the glass as half full or the glass shattered into a million pieces as you flung it against the wall in disgust. Of course, the end of the year calls for champagne, holiday cheer and the inevitable magazine lists. So here is a wish list to be shared amongst the Cupertino elves in 2013. 8 APPLE WISHES FOR 2013 1. Fewer Tim Cook Press Engagements Let's face the truth: Tim Cook is no Steve…

Research in Motion (RIM), the Canadian firm responsible for the game-changing BlackBerry, is a study in contrasts. Founded by engineering students Mike Lazaridis and Douglas Fregin in 1984, CEO and VP of Operations, respectively, RIM became one of the first companies in North America to manufacture connectivity products for data communications networks, as well as the first to attempt wireless data transfers. The company grew slowly through the late 80s by securing a series of contracts with companies like General Motors. RIM's interest in wireless data spawned from a request it received from the telecommunications division of Canadian media giant Rogers Communications, which had sought innovations in wireless digital communications similar to those produced by Ericsson in Sweden. By the early 90s, RIM had over a million dollars in cash,…

WARRIOR KE$HA The dirty punk princess is back, with her highly anticipated release, Warrior. Ke$ha fans have been on edge, waiting for this pseudo-secretive album to finally hit store shelves. Over the last few months we have gotten little glimpses of what to expect with this release when some of Ke$ha's new hit-singles started to pop up on the radio. Perhaps the most poignant was "Die Young," which has rocketed up the Billboards, !Tunes lists, and SpotifyTop 40 collection almost instantaneously. For anyone unfamiliar, (and there are probably very few of you considering Ke$ha is so well known in the world of pop) Ke$ha has staked her claim in the world of pop music with her unique brand of sarcastic, punk-tinged vocals and sexy sounding industrial hooks. Warrior continues her…
