Ever since 2008, there has been a big decline in yahoo.com as a portal or as a search engine or even as a news aggregator. I don't think yahoo will survive any longer as a major portal on the net. Even the concept of a portal is growing old with the new age of social media. Unless it reinvents itself it is slowly going down. The quality of the site went down, the top news is mainly hollywood gossip connected with mediocre value. Apparently the news editor/algorithm is highly entertainment oriented. Check out BBC for example, it has a good balance of news categories. The most popular photos feature for instance are years old and very dysfunctional. Yahoo will be around, but it lost its commanding position and slowly receding in its net footprint.

To many in the Arab world, Michael Jackson was the first ambassador of American music and pop culture; mainly during 80s before satellite TV becoming mainstream, and before the advent of internet to the region. He will truly be missed, such a legendary musician and performer.. As Jermaine said: May Allah be with you, Michael, always.

I guess this is a norm that is followed for shows whenever no music band is live on stage but only the singer. Nevertheless it works and merely unnoticeable.
