Coffee Beans Are Going Extinct, Facebook Covets Your Old Pics and the Motorola Razr Is Back (60-Second Video) Here are three things entrepreneurs should know today.

  • Ready to head back to the mid-2000s? Motorola is reviving their iconic Razr flip phone as a $1,500 bendable smartphone, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal. But they're not the only brand to bank on nostalgia; in the past few years, Nokia has also released new versions of its formerly popular devices.
