According to reports, Jackson suffered a heart attack at his Beverly Hills home in Los Angeles and was rushed to UCLA hospital. Apparently his breathing had stopped.

While the LA times inititally claimed that MJ was in coma, it later reported to have quoted doctors as saying that he is now dead. British television channel SKY news also confirmed that the star had died. But BBC refused to confirm whether Michael Jackson had died or not till it got any such intimation from his family or the doctors treating him.

So while the majority of the media now believes Jackson is dead, the BBC is creating hopes in the hearts of fans that all may not be lost, yet. However they are reporting that ‘other news organisatons’ have reported Jackson to have left his mortal coil.

MJ was given CPR and treated in the ambulance while on the way to hospital. Even as I write I’m listening to the BBC live, who say that crowds have started thronging the hospital and the star’s Beverly Hills mansion.

The BBC confirmed at 11:44pm BST that Michael Jackson is indeed dead. A great loss for the music industry.

Thankfully, clutter days are numbered. Facebook is disclosing more details about the planned redesign for its core member profile pages, as it attempts to regain the layout’s orderly, streamlined look that had been one of its hallmarks and a differentiator from competitors like MySpace and Orkut.

Having nearly tripled its audience and added about 20,000 new applications over the past year, Facebook Inc.’s popular online hangout is about to undergo a housecleaning.

Visitors who can’t stand the clutter that’s been piling up will be glad to see that the site’s new look sweeps disparate bits of information into categories marked by tabs at the top of each user’s customized home page.

The latest plans in Facebook’s ongoing redesign efforts call for profile pages to evolve from a single repository of content and applications into a tabbed interface.

The goal is to let users organize in these tabbed sub-pages the various components of their profiles, such as the activity feed, photos, personal information and applications.

Despite the coming changes, which will appear in the next few weeks via an “opt-in” beta test rollout, Facebook is keen to stress that the final version of the profile overhaul will be influenced by subsequent feedback and comments gathered from those putting the new design through its paces.
