Had no clue until I read the write up on CNN that me and her share the same birthplace of Newark, NJ.

Based on the last pictures that ware taken of her publicly this past Thursday, I would say a drug overdose is unfortunately a very safe bet.

Had no clue until I read the write up on CNN that me and her share the same birthplace of Newark, NJ.

Based on the last pictures that ware taken of her publicly this past Thursday, I would say a drug overdose is unfortunately a very safe bet.

She got in a fight at the party too...left bloodied.

Multiple award-winning singing legend Whitney Nippy Houston got into a brawl with season 1 X Factor finalist Stacy Francis over Brandy?s little brother Ray J!

It all went down at KELLY Price?s Pre-Grammy Awards event Price & Friends Unplugged: For the Love of R&B at TRU Hollywood.

The two singers first met in 1992 at a Whitney Houston concert and were reintroduced in the VIP section at the event but, ?It didn?t seem like Whitney remembered her, but she was cordial at first,? says a source on the scene.

But minutes later when Ray J, a pal of Stacy?s and Whitney?s boy toy, came on the scene, things got bloody real really fast.

?Whitney just got belligerent,? says an eyewitness. ?Ray was trying to defend Stacy, telling Whitney, ?Stacy?s family!?, but Whitney was feeling crowded out and hands were raised.?

She was such a beautiful woman and such a beautiful artist. I am so sad right now. She had a rough life with that Bobby dude. I blame him for her involvement on drugs. She was pure and clean before she met him. What a waste.

can we for once keep the negativity out of one thread on neowin?

No, we can't, as that is the name of the game for anonymity and freedom of speech. Not to mention the number of flat out arrogant SOB's on this and most other forums!! :o

On topic:

I heard this last night and was quite shocked. 48 is WAY to young. Her music wasn't exactly my favorite style, but I will admit, she had an awesome voice and didn't fit the usual mode of the singers for her time, which was VERY nice.

Remember kids, when the RIAA/BPI/MPAA spout off about YOU funding the drugs industry when you download illegally, just point them to people like this, and Amy Whinehouse and the like, and remind them that when you download legally, you're funding the drugs industry!!!

Then tell them to go do one!

    • You're absolutely right! No reason in hell these should be on the road!
    • They aren't going to want to. Most would just go with the 17 Pro and save money. Why would they want to spend $300 for basically the same thing? It's not worth it if there are hardly any changes from year to year.
    • 24H2 rolled out to the Release Preview Channel in early June 2024, so this coming a bit later in the Experimental Channel (formerly Dev) doesn't really say much more than earlier H2 releases that came out in October. I am not sure what the thinking is here by putting it in Experimental, one would think that the 26H2 stamp means features are locked down and it's now bug tested until October? I don't even pretend to understand Microsoft's strategy for Windows Insider Program though

Additional features include IP54-rated earbuds for dust and splash resistance, paired with an IPX2-rated charging case. Furthermore, users also benefit from pinch controls, in-ear detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual-device connectivity, and a low-latency mode designed for gaming and video playback.
