BREAKING NEWS...Michael Jackson dies of cardiac arrest


Recommended Posts

I never said the parents weren't demented by accepting the money and letting him get away with it. Doesn't change what he did.

i reakon he was guilty however i do not think it was as the media portray it. he didnt have a childhood and therefore i don't think he learnt all the boundries and such. i think he did think of himself as a child and saw no wrong in what he did.

The last time he was accused and his house was searched, they found that his bedroom door had an alarm that would go off when anyone came within a certain amount of feet of said door. That wasn't there the first time he was accused and it was only that door that was set-up like that.

He added that after the first time he was accused. Why do that if you're innocent? Why worry about who comes in? He was already a huge celebrity with mass security. Why the extra bit of security on that one single door?

He knew what he was doing. I suggest some of you people read the court transcripts and see all the stuff that wasn't mentioned in the media.

The last thing I'll say about MJ:

An innocent man doesn't pay a family 15 to 20 million dollars to settle

So your saying that if some one molests your children you would settle for 20 million and leave a paedophile free on the streets?

If you were accused of child molestation and you were actually innocent, would you do that if you had that kind of cash? I would fight it in court and not care at all about how long it took or how much money it would take. I wouldn't just pay the family to end it all quickly. That just makes the person look even more guilty. I would do everything it took to prove my innocence.

He did go to court and was declared innocent by the jury. Yet as always, people, like you, don't except that. I am sure you decided he was guilty the first time you heard the accusations.

Some of you hardcore fans are blinded by his music and ignore what he really was.

I was never into his music.

You reakon he was guilty? Why? Because he looked weird?

I guess there's no point in a jury system anymore because we have posters here who can see all and know all. They have spoken and they were there when MJ commited his crimes. They were there when he molested these kids. Oh now there's no possibility that the kids were lying because kids NEVER lie, it must be MJ at fault, they have spoken and he is guilty.

Debating this old news issue, that has already been debated; trialed; and even had public acceptance of MJ after the issue. Is of no use any more.

R I Peace

Including this topic. I vote to close it and the debate. If you like it or not, Michael Jackson was the king of pop, I note that this is not debated here. :cool:

So beat it, everyone who is not interested in giving respect to a great loss, in the world of music, dance and song

I don't want to argue, but there is two ways you can look into his death. Just because you see it one way does not mean its the correct one or the only one that should.

He died as the "King of Pop"

Elvis died as the "King of Rock" But I suppose you only see him as a fat slob.

I choose to remember him as one of the greatest singers that ever lived in my lifetime

Just as many feel the same for Elvis. Although some remember Elvis as a fat slob, but not me.

All that is heard in the news is that the guy died and did some "great" things. Well I say wtf? He also made the news a number of times for pedophillic activities. How easily people are forgetting that tasty fact. Society, mostly the media, are really screwed up. IMO

...found not guilty each time

The truth is he had sleepovers with other peoples children ...In the same bed . I cant say it went any further than that but I draw the line right there .

Yes thank god we have a court system, otherwise people like you would go around shooting who you think is guilty. I think that's called a kangaroo court. (Guilty before trial)

...found not guilty each time

Well glad that's all resolved now ;)

Irrelavent isnt it really.

The parents let the children stay.

...the mans dead for god sake, he was found not guilty both times, get over it, you cant prove anything, why would you come into a thread like this to try and stomp on a dead mans legacy.

So unbelievably childish of you

The last time he was accused and his house was searched, they found that his bedroom door had an alarm that would go off when anyone came within a certain amount of feet of said door. That wasn't there the first time he was accused and it was only that door that was set-up like that.

He knew what he was doing. I suggest some of you people read the court transcripts and see all the stuff that wasn't mentioned in the media.

And yet he was STILL found innocent of ALL charges. Go figure...

Gee... I guess the court and jury didn't know what they were doing and let a guilty man go! You should reopen the case and have his dead ass thrown in jail, Mr Internet Lawyer, sir!

I know people love his music and love him , And im not trying to flame anyone or start anything but JESUS H CHRIST he had sleepovers with other peoples children In the same bed !

I don't care if the parents were ok with it it is NEVER acceptable for an adult to have sleepovers with other peoples children in the same fricken bed !

Jesus, black holes can bend space and time but thats nothing compared to what jacko can do to a rational persons mind .

Once again im not trying to flame anyone or start anything but god i cant believe how people can write that off as "ok"

He died as the "King of Pop"

Elvis died as the "King of Rock" But I suppose you only see him as a fat slob.

I remember all things about Elvis, both good and bad and I am a fan. Elvis was a huge talent but had his own eccentricities and he made a lot of bad choices that ruined a marriage and destroyed his health. Elvis was also abusive to women and was a drug addict. These things are just as much a part of the legacy of Elvis as is the bad choices and eccentricities of Jackson are a part of his legacy. You do the person a disservice by only remembering only the good parts and ignoring the bad when both the good and the bad are what create a whole person.

Where do some of you people come up with this garbage that remembering the bad parts of a persons life is some how wrong once they are dead?

I have mixed feelings on Jackson's death. The world in one sense lost a great talent. In another I still question Jackson's complete innocence when it comes to sexual abuse of children. His behavior was not that of any normal person when it comes to children and it may have been completely innocent and just misguided. I hope all the allegations were false and it can now finally be put to rest one way or another.

...found not guilty each time

Found not guilty one time. The first accuser was paid off to drop the case. Besides, these were not the only two allegations of child molestation made against Jackson. There are others who claim to have been molested too so don't be so quick to dismiss the possibility Jackson was a pervert. It is also entirely possible he is innocent of all charges and was just a really really strange person.

These are the same people who still think he BLEACHED his skin, because he didn't want to be black.

LOL

Do you have proof to the contrary? As much plastic surgery Jackson has had done, it would not be surprising to find out he did have his skin bleached. The disease he claims to have had (Vitiligo) leaves dark patches of pigmentation all over the body. Jackson did not have these dark spots because most likely he bleached them to make his skin look better. That doesn't mean he did not have Vitiligo, but it doesn't mean he didn't bleach his skin for a consistent appearance.

Irrelavent isnt it really.

You actually believe the parents let the children stay?

And answer the ****ing question: So you would let your boys sleep in the same bed with a man that you do not know?

Who?s Michael Jackson?

Win haha

Parents of some of the children who slept in the same bed as him were interviewed on telly once and admitted they knew it was happening, in their minds they trusted him because he was famous. I would never allow my children to enter the home of a stranger without me accompanying them never mind allow them to sleeping over :huh:

Anyway it came as a shock when I heard the news, the man was only 10 year older then me and it's scary how you can be here one minute then gone the next.

RIP

If you had a childhood like him, you would be strange too.

There's no such thing as skin bleaching.

It was make-up.

Excuses, excuses.

So can I use my crappy childhood as an excuse for being strange? Why doesn't society let me use that excuse but it is ok if you are rich and famous to use it?

There is such a thing as skin bleaching. Dermatologist use skin bleaching to remove sun spots and other pigmentation problems.

The make up was to hide all the scarring from plastic surgery.

Blindly defending people is how cults get started.

    • First exciting thing to come to Windows in a long time ! This is the kind of things they should focus on, instead of cramming as much AI as they can in everything.
    • New AMD graphics driver fixes install issues and FSR 4.1 crashes on RX 7000 GPUs by Taras Buria AMD is rolling out yet another graphics driver. Version 26.6.4 is now available for download, bringing two important fixes. One is for those still using Windows 10 and having trouble installing driver 26.6.2. In fact, this patch is coming from the recently released hotfix, so it is not new if you are already running version 26.6.3. The second fix is for RX 7000 owners. AMD recently brought FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen graphics cards, but there was a bug with certain games crashing when using FSR 4.1. I experienced this issue with Forza Horizon 6, so today's driver should take care of that. Here is the official changelog: Intermittent install issue seen when installing AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 on Windows® 10 systems for Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Intermittent application crash may be observed in some games with AMD FSR Upscaling 4.1 enabled on Radeon™ RX 7000 series graphics products. Known issues include the following: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Battlefield™ 6 on AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. AMD is actively working on a resolution with the developer to be released as soon as possible. Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing Battlefield™ 6 with AMD Record and Stream on some AMD graphics products. AMD FSR Upscaling and AMD FSR Frame Generation may show as inactive in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition while playing Battlefield™ 6 when enabled on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products. Failure to install may be observed while installing AI Bundle components in some regions with limited access to HuggingFace and GitHub. Model flickering or rendering failure may be observed in Maxon Cinema 4D and Blender on Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. Intermittent application crash may be observed on some models while running Blender on Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. You can download the AMD Radeon driver 26.6.4 from the official website here. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • Amazon may use OpenAI and Nova models after Anthropic reportedly raises costs by Karthik Mudaliar Amazon is reportedly considering to use OpenAI models and even its own Nova family of AI models after Anthropic raised the cost of using Claude inside Amazon services. According to a report from The Information, Amazon is weighing its options to reduce costs under a new arrangement with Anthropic. But back in April, Amazon said it would invest $5 billion more in Anthropic, with the possibility of adding up to another $20 billion if certain commercial milestones are met. That investment actually came on top of another $8 billion Amazon had already put into the Claude maker. Anthropic, meanwhile, committed to spend more than $100 billion over 10 years on AWS technologies, including Amazon’s Trainium chips. Amazon isn't just a customer of Anthropic but also one of the most important backers and cloud partners. This is why it makes it interesting that Amazon is considering other alternatives to handle its internal workloads. Although Amazon has been building its own options for a while now. Its Nova family of AI models was announced in late 2024 for Amazon Bedrock, with models aimed at text, image, and video tasks. Amazon pitched the model around cost and latency at that time. With that said, OpenAI has also become a more realistic option recently for AWS customers as well as for Amazon itself. Earlier this year, OpenAI brought its latest models and Codex coding agent to Amazon Bedrock, after changes to its previously more restrictive Microsoft cloud arrangement. This allowed AWS to serve even those customers who wanted other alternatives from Claude, without having to move workloads out of Amazon's cloud. Evaluating alternatives could also be due to commercial pressure and not necessarily a sign of a damaged partnership between Amazon and Anthropic. Whether or not Amazon is actually considering switching entirely to OpenAI's models or its own Nova models remains unknown at this moment.
    • Samsung introduces new AI classroom tools and interactive displays at ISTELive 2026 by Fiza Ali Samsung has announced several new education-focused software features and interactive displays for schools during ISTELive 2026, taking place in Orlando, Florida, from 28 June to 1 July. The focus of these updates is on making shared classroom displays easier to use for teachers while giving IT administrators more control over managing devices. One of the key additions is the Samsung Account Management Solution (AMS). In many schools, multiple teachers share the same interactive display throughout the day, which means signing in and setting everything up can become repetitive. With AMS, teachers can log in by scanning a QR code or tapping an NFC-enabled ID card. Once signed in, their personalised workspace, including wallpapers, bookmarks, app shortcuts, and files, can be instantly accessed through Home Personalisation. Samsung has also included a screen lock feature, allowing teachers to lock the display if they need to step away briefly. Furthermore, the company is also updating its Education Portal with new tools designed for school IT administrators. The portal will allow IT administrators to register teachers, enrol devices, and manage user access from a central dashboard. Administrators can also link NFC cards to teacher accounts, making sign-ins quicker across shared displays. Another addition is a Tags feature that lets schools organise displays by building or classroom. Those tags can also be used to send emergency notifications to selected Samsung Interactive Displays through compatible platforms such as InformaCast and Raptor. Moreover, the tech giant's AI Assistant is gaining several new features aimed at supporting everyday classroom tasks such as lesson planning and classroom engagement. One of the features is Circle to Search, which lets teachers circle text or images on the display to quickly find related information, videos, or web results without interrupting the lesson. The content can then be brought into Samsung Whiteboard. Another feature, Live Transcript, converts spoken lessons into real-time captions, which could be useful for students with hearing impairments or those in multilingual classrooms. The AI Assistant also introduces AI Summary and AI Quiz. The summary tool creates summaries of recorded lessons, while AI Quiz generates questions based on lesson content so teachers can quickly check how well students are following along. Teachers signed in through Samsung AMS can also return to their previous AI-generated lesson materials without logging in again. Alongside the software updates, Samsung has expanded its Android-based Interactive Display range with three new models: the WAF-S, WAFX-PS, and WAHX-M. The WAF-S and WAFX-PS ship with Android 16, bringing updates to security, accessibility, and overall usability while maintaining compatibility with Google's education services including Google Classroom and Google Drive through EDLA certification. Meanwhile, the new WAHX-M is the biggest addition to the lineup, introducing a 98-inch display for larger spaces such as lecture halls and conference rooms. It will also be available in 65-inch, 75-inch and 86-inch sizes. Samsung says the WAHX-M further includes on-device AI features such as voice commands, text-to-speech, and an AI calculator, alongside support for Samsung AMS and AI Assistant. Samsung AI Assistant has been available since April, while Samsung AMS and the updated Education Portal will begin rolling out in July.
    • It's been $24 (single) or $89 (4-pack) for many days on both Amazon and Walmart as far as I know. That isn't a big discount. If these end up like the 1st gen, the 4-pack will routinely get down around $80, give or take a dollar. I think they have even hit $69 at times.
