Actually have have started making a profit again. If you look at the
detail I believe you will find that the product that the public did not want
to by was film. They have been recovering from the changed to digital.
Unlike many camera companies who primarily built cameras Kodak was centered
on film and processing.

The general view of the business world appears to be very complimentary
to Kodak for coming out of such a sudden lose of their primary business as
well as they did. That said, they might have done better if they had a
little more foresight and had started the process sooner. They are now
employing something like 50% of the people they had before.

Kodak does not just market to consumers.
Medical and other technical customers are switching to digital rather than
film based processes as well. In these markets the need for film will
devolve only to highly specialized uses and even the ones I can think of now
can eventually go digital.

Where did you get the insane notion that kodak is only interested in film
photography?

They don't build anything anymore. Sanyo and others supply them.
Kodak is dead....

To the contrary, they have finally stopped the bleeding, and have turned a
small profit. They've been losing billions, but have finally moved into the
black.

Completely retooling a business from one technology to another is a
massive undertaking, and it almost always results in large layoffs of
personnel and closing of old technology installations. It appears that
Kodak may be intending to convert some of their old technology
installations to manufacture of pigment inks for their new printers.
That looks like creative management to me.

That's like when Ford manages a small profit, one quarter out of 20.
