Moving to *real* news, we'll suffer one less crap-ass tabloid for a bit as Murdoch shuts down the "News of the World" tabloid after the outrage it generated. The newspaper was caught hacking the phones of bombing victims and a murder case (possibly destroying evidence in the case of the latter by deleting voice mails).

Now do I believe Murdoch grew a heart like the Grinch? Nope, he's just sending the assets scurrying into the shadows and it will reformulate under a new "brand". The only regret is over being caught...
It was sick what that newspaper did. I'd say they're also closing down because their actions are a direct insult to the values of their readership, and they'll lose all their sales. Hopefully they'll be taken to court and convicted.
