In Pictures: 2012 Tech industry graveyard

Apple, Cisco, Microsoft and Google among those bidding farewell to products

MSNBC

Microsoft and NBC split up in 2012 after starting their news venture 16 years ago and turning it into one of the most heavily trafficked news sites on the Web. Microsoft wants to build its own online news service, so sold its 50% stake in MSNBC to NBCUniversal, and NBC is heading back to New York from Redmond. MSNBC is being rebranded as NBCNews. Meanwhile, Microsoft plans to launch its multimillion dollar news service as Windows 8 rolls out this month.
