The king of pop has died at the young age of 50. According to various sources he died of cardiac arrest in his Holmby Hills home where paramedics were unable to revive him.
I can scarcely imagine any other person having led such a turbulent and, at times, scandalous, life. He was truly the king of pop and in his prime he was untouchable in music and style. I doubt anyone will ever make an album like thriller again, now with how file sharing is changing the music business.
It is my hope, that people will remember his music and forget the plastic surgeries, balcony baby incidents and child abuse cases - for just to mention a few of the many scandals he was involved in.
I think everybody of my generation has been influenced by this man in some way or another. He will be missed.
With a debt of $172.81 billion and only $82.29 billion in assets, General Motors are filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
With the bankruptcy protection, the company does not go bankrupt, but will be trimmed to again make profits and sell off the parts of the company that don't make profits. It will continue brands like Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC, while the rest will most likely be sold off.
A group of scientists, led by Jørn Hurum from the University of Oslo, unveiled an extremely well prepared fossil that they hail to be the missing link between primates and other mammals.
Ida, as the fossil is called, looks like a cross between a monkey and a lemur, and is 47 million years old. It was dug out in the 1980's by amateur fossil hunters and had resided in a private collections for the past 20 years, until Jørn Hurum bought it from a German dealer and brought it to the University of Oslo two years ago. Once there an international team conducted research on it to verify their suspicions: That Ida was the missing link.
It is a remarkably well preserved fossil and it's implications will be discussed for many years to come.
There is a website dedicated to the discovery and a documentary movie has been made detailing the research of the past two years. See Revealing the Link for more details.
It seems that the company responsible for developing Duke Nukem Forever - 3D Realms - is shutting down. Can't really say I'm surprised, but I doubt this is the end of this internet phenomenon. More likely it's just the latest stage of this ongoing saga of hype, cancellations, postponement and false rumours. Gotta love it!
