Cory Doctorow doesn't think Newspapers have a future - that they'll be destroyed by the Internet.

"Let me start by saying that I like newspapers. And let me say further that, no matter how much I like them, they just might not have a future."

"The Internet chews up media and spits them out again. Sometimes they get more robust. Sometimes they get more profitable. Sometimes they die."

Playboy posted a 2008 fourth-quarter loss of $145 million, with revenue dropping almost 20%. The company cut 14 percent of its workforce in 2008.

Should we expect to see less jerking off in 2009? Will the down turn cause a turn down?
