Adapt to New Technology or Die

An anonymous reader writes "Yahoo! News is reporting that in a recent speech to fellow stationers and newspaper makers, Rupert Murdoch has stated that the 'newspaper industry needs to embrace the technological revolution of the Internet, MP3 players, laptops and mobile phones or face extinction.'"

Re:Facing Extinction...

You know, I think it's a strangely USA-ian thing of throwing papers at people's doors. Here in the UK, we actually have paper-boys(or girls) that go up to the door and put it through the letterbox. But then again, we're really uncivilised as we have letterboxes, as opposed to the USA, where you can't put post through someone's door, you have to put it in a post-box thing on the very edge of their property, in case some redneck psycho (so, Texas pretty much) starts shooting paper-boys and postmen with his M60 machine-gun*. Aren't we odd.

*Which he absolutely must possess and have the right to carry around with him as part of his constitutional rights, you know, for err....hunting. Yeah, hunting...really big ducks in Texas, I gather....
