Michael Jackson, 'King of Pop,' dead at 50

LOS ANGELES - Michael Jackson, the "King of Pop" who once moonwalked above the music world, died Thursday as he prepared for a comeback bid to vanquish nightmare years of sexual scandal and financial calamity. He was 50.

Jackson died at UCLA Medical Center after being stricken at his rented home in Holmby Hills. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him at his home for nearly three-quarters of an hour, then rushed him to the hospital, where doctors continued to work on him.

"It is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home. However, the cause of his death is unknown until results of the autopsy are known," his brother Jermaine said. Police said they were investigating, standard procedure in high-profile cases.

Jackson's death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music's premier all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV, dominated the charts and dazzled even more on stage.

His 1982 album "Thriller" which included the blockbuster hits "Beat It," "Billie Jean" and "Thriller" is the best-selling album of all time, with an estimated 50 million copies sold worldwide.

At the time of his death, Jackson was rehearsing hard for what was to be his greatest comeback: He was scheduled for an unprecedented 50 shows at a London arena, with the first set for July 13.

As word of his death spread, MTV switched its programming to play videos from Jackson's heyday. Radio stations began playing marathons of his hits. Hundreds of people gathered outside the hospital. In New York's Times Square, a low groan went up in the crowd when a screen flashed that Jackson had died, and people began relaying the news to friends by cell phone.

"No joke. King of Pop is no more. Wow," Michael Harris, 36, of New York City, read from a text message a friend had sent him. "It's like when Kennedy was assassinated. I will always remember being in Times Square when Michael Jackson died."

The public first knew him as a boy in the late 1960s, when he was the precocious, spinning lead singer of the Jackson 5, the singing group he formed with his four older brothers out of Gary, Ind. Among their No. 1 hits were "I Want You Back," "ABC" and "I'll Be There."

He was perhaps the most exciting performer of his generation, known for his backward-gliding moonwalk, his feverish, crotch-grabbing dance moves and his high-pitched singing, punctuated with squeals and titters. His single sequined glove, tight, military-style jacket and aviator sunglasses were trademarks, as was his ever-changing, surgically altered appearance.

"For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don't have the words," said Quincy Jones, who produced "Thriller." "He was the consummate entertainer and his contributions and legacy will be felt upon the world forever. I've lost my little brother today, and part of my soul has gone with him."

Jackson ranked alongside Elvis Presley and the Beatles as the biggest pop sensations of all time. He united two of music's biggest names when he was briefly married to Presley's daughter, Lisa Marie, and Jackson's death immediately evoked comparisons to that of Presley himself, who died at age 42 in 1977.

As years went by, Jackson became an increasingly freakish figure a middle-aged man-child weirdly out of touch with grown-up life. His skin became lighter, his nose narrower, and he spoke in a breathy, girlish voice. He often wore a germ mask while traveling, kept a pet chimpanzee named Bubbles as one of his closest companions, and surrounded himself with children at his Neverland ranch, a storybook playland filled with toys, rides and animals. The tabloids dubbed him "Wacko Jacko."

"It seemed to me that his internal essence was at war with the norms of the world. It's as if he was trying to defy gravity," said Michael Levine, a Hollywood publicist who represented Jackson in the early 1990s. He called Jackson a "disciple of P.T. Barnum" and said the star appeared fragile at the time but was "much more cunning and shrewd about the industry than anyone knew."

Jackson caused a furor in 2002 when he playfully dangled his infant son, Prince Michael II, over a hotel balcony in Berlin while a throng of fans watched from below.

In 2005, he was cleared of charges he molested a 13-year-old cancer survivor at Neverland in 2003. He had been accused of plying the boy with alcohol and groping him, and of engaging in strange and inappropriate behavior with other children.

The case followed years of rumors about Jackson and young boys. In a TV documentary, he acknowledged sharing his bed with children, a practice he described as sweet and not at all sexual.

Despite the acquittal, the lurid allegations that came out in court took a fearsome toll on his career and image, and he fell into serious financial trouble.

Michael Joseph Jackson was born Aug. 29, 1958, in Gary. He was 4 years old when he began singing with his brothers Marlon, Jermaine, Jackie and Tito in the Jackson 5. After his early success with bubblegum soul, he struck out on his own, generating innovative, explosive, unstoppable music.

The album "Thriller" alone mixed the dark, serpentine bass and drums and synthesizer approach of "Billie Jean," the grinding Eddie Van Halen solo on "Beat It," and the hiccups and falsettos on "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'."

The peak may have come in 1983, when Motown celebrated its 25th anniversary with an all-star televised concert and Jackson moonwalked off with the show, joining his brothers for a medley of old hits and then leaving them behind with a pointing, crouching, high-kicking, splay-footed, crotch-grabbing run through "Billie Jean."

The audience stood and roared. Jackson raised his fist.

By then he had cemented his place in pop culture. He got the plum Scarecrow role in the 1978 movie musical "The Wiz," a pop-R&B version of "The Wizard of Oz," that starred Diana Ross as Dorothy.

During production of a 1984 Pepsi commercial, Jackson's scalp sustains burns when an explosion sets his hair on fire.

He had strong follow-up albums with 1987's "Bad" and 1991's "Dangerous," but his career began to collapse in 1993 after he was accused of molesting a boy who often stayed at his home. The singer denied any wrongdoing, reached a settlement with the boy's family, reported to be $20 million, and criminal charges were never filed.

Jackson's expressed anger over the allegations on the 1995 album "HIStory," which sold more than 2.4 million copies, but by then, the popularity of Jackson's music was clearly waning, even as public fascination with his increasingly erratic behavior was growing.

Cardiac arrest is an abnormal heart rhythm that stops the heart from pumping blood to the body. It can occur after a heart attack or be caused by other heart problems.

Billboard magazine editorial director Bill Werde said Jackson's star power was unmatched. "The world just lost the biggest pop star in history, no matter how you cut it," Werde said. "He's literally the king of pop."

Jackson's 13 No. 1 one hits on the Billboard charts put him behind only Presley, the Beatles and Mariah Carey, Werde said.

"He was on the eve of potentially redeeming his career a little bit," he said. "People might have started to think of him again in a different light."

Selamat Hari Bapa

Selamat Hari Bapa

Buat y masih ada bapa,
Hargai pengorbanan mereka
buat y telah kehilangan Bapa,
titipkanlah doa untuk kesejahteraan mereka.

~buat AYAH y telah pergi, doa anakmu ini sentiasa mengiringi,Al-Fatihah!~

buat semua y telah bergelar bapa, sedikit penghargaan buatmu
***********

God took the strength of a mountain,

The majesty of a tree,

The warmth of a summer sun,

The calm of a quiet sea,

The generous soul of nature,

The comforting arm of night,

The wisdom of the ages,

The power of the eagle's flight,

The joy of a morning in spring,

The faith of a mustard seed,

The patience of eternity,

The depth of a family need,

Then God combined these qualities,

When there was nothing more to add,

He knew His masterpiece was complete,

And so,

He called it ... DAD

love you dad!

Berapakah harga blog anda?

noreply@blogger.com (Caer) — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 04:44:00 +0000

Bukan, blog ini bukan untuk dijual. Harga di atas adalah harga estimate blog shahir yang diberi/dianalisis oleh stimator.com . Laman web stimator nih kerja dia adalah melakukan analisis secara dalam talian untuk mengkaji berapakah nilai blog/website yang dikaji dalam bentuk usd. Shahir punya? : usd6,166,343 . boleh tahan ye~~ hehehe

Blog anda pula berapa harganya?

Mungkin ada yang tertanya bagaimana laman web ini mengira nilai sesebuah blog/website. Sejujurnya saya pun tidak tahu. tetapi apa yang boleh saya katakan ia hanya mengambil kira “nilai material” atau sesuatu yang nyata pada laman web tersebut seperti nilai domain name (TLD - top level domain), jumlah trafik (kemungkinan besar daripada alexa.com), struktur laman web, jumlah page yang telah di index, jumlah link daripada social bookmark dan juga laman web direktori.

Pendek kata, usaha SEO dan promosi blog anda akan menentukan harga blog anda. Semakin banyak link ke blog anda dan semakin banyak halaman blog anda diindex, semakin tinggi harga blog anda.

Pada saya ini hanya separuh daripada harga sebenar untuk dijual. Sepatutnya harga tersebut perlulah termasuk sekali potensi janawang yang sedang digenerate sekarang dan juga projected earning for a year. Tapi nilai itu pastinya sukar untuk dipredict oleh sistem automatik seperti stimator.com nih. Maybe saya boleh buat kot.. hehehe

Suara (Kuberharap) - Luna Maya feat Dide Hijau Daun:

di sini aku masih sendiri
merenungi hari-hari sepi
aku tanpamu, masih tanpamu

bila esok hari datang lagi
ku coba hadapi semua ini
meski tanpamu oooh meski tanpamu

bila aku dapat bintang yang berpijar
mentari yang tenang bersamaku disini
ku dapat tertawa menangis merenung
di tempat ini aku bertahan

reff:

suara dengarkanlah aku
apa kabarnya pujaan hatiku
aku di sini menunggunya
masih berharap di dalam hatinya

suara dengarkanlah aku
apakah aku slalu dihatinya
aku di sini menunggunya
masih berharap di dalam hatinya
ooo

kalau ku masih tetap disini
ku lewati semua yang terjadi
aku menunggumu (aku menunggumu)
aku menunggu

suara dengarkanlah aku
apa kabarnya pujaan hatiku
aku di sini menunggunya
masih berharap di dalam hatinya

repeat reff [2x]

suara dengarkanlah aku

How does Blogger make any money?

Introduction

Blogger, as many of you already know, is a free web-based blogging application that’s now owned by Google. Blogger not only gives you the blogging application for free, you also get free web hosting for your blog. So how does Google make any money if they’re giving away the product for free?

Where’s the revenue?

It was easy to see how the old Blogger was supposed to make money. Blogger offered you a free service that had a limited feature set, but then you had to pay a recurring fee to upgrade to the more powerful Blogger Pro. And it was the same story with the web hosting. If you wanted more bandwidth and to get rid of the banner ads, you had to pay money to upgrade.

But then Google bought Blogger and Blogger went to a totally free pricing model. Currently there is nothing to buy at Blogger. How is there any money in it if it’s free?

The only obvious source of income is from the ads that appear at the top of Blogger hosted blogs.

Advertising is how the Google search engine makes money. But the advertising revenue per page view is surely a lot lower for Blogger than for the Google search engine. People using the Google search engine are searching for something specific, so it’s probably about ten to twenty times more likely that they will see an ad at the top or right side of the screen that they will be interested in. I have ads on my blog, so I know how little interest there is in them.

So how much money might Google be making from those Blogger ads? Well I did some calculations, and I assumed that Blogger has 1.5 million blogs, but only 300,000 of them are active, and that the average active blog gets 25 page views per day (most blogs don’t get very many visits). With these numbers, Google might be making $2 million per year in advertising revenue. It might cost Google $500,000 per year for the storage space, servers, bandwidth, and personnel to host all those sites and run the Blogger application. So Google is making a $1.5 million profit.

Now that we’ve calculated that Google is making $1.5 million from the advertising, we must subract the cost of programming and marketing Blogger. If there are 20 employees in the Blogger division (there were only six when Google bought Blogger, I’m assuming there was some expansion), and the average employee is making $100,000 per year (these are high paid computer programmers we’re talking about), that’s another $2 million in expenses. So now Blogger is losing $500,000 per year. Or maybe there are fewer employees or more ad revenue and Google is breaking even.

My conclusion is that Blogger in its current state is not a big source of profit for Google, and that chances are better than even that Google is losing money on Blogger.

Other purposes of Blogger

If Blogger is not profitable, then what’s its purpose? Well here are some theories.

(1) Delayed profits. Google wants Blogger to be to blogging software as Microsoft is to operating systems. Once Google controls the entire blogosphere, suddenly they will start charging money for the service, and there won’t be any other place to go because all the competition will be out of business. After all, it’s hard to compete with a free product.

(2) Synergy with the Google search engine. Maybe by searching through all the Blogger posts, Google can use this mass of information to enhance its search engine results? Critics to this theory have pointed out that Google can already spider these pages, so what additional value is there to controlling the database where the Blogger posts are stored?

(3) Another synergy theory. By owning Blogger, Google has access to the referral logs for hundreds of thousands of active blogs. Google normally can’t see the referral logs for the websites it spiders. Maybe Google’s computer scientists think that the referral logs might contain information that could be used to produce better search engine results?

(4) The clueless theory. Google’s management figured that blogs were the next big thing, and they wanted a piece of the action even though they have no clue how it will actually bring profit to the company.

I do not know

After all this analysis, I’ve come to the conclusion that I still don’t know how Google thinks that Blogger will make money. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to comment.
