Bloomberg.com: Its Oct. 31 earnings report extends Kodak's longest streak of losses in at least 10 years. In moving to digital technology from film, chief executive Antonio Perez plans to cut as many as 27,000 jobs, put the health-care imaging unit up for sale and set up printing kiosks in busy locations like Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
