If it's anything like the other Dubai projects -and I'm sure it is- they don't care how much it costs, they just want it yesterday.

poor neighbours...

so while the rest of the world is in a financial crisis, Dubai is living it up? nice. Even if the world does collapse, at least theres another whole world off their shore.

If Dubai was falling apart though and the US didn't send help, everyone would bitch at the US and say we are all greedy...other way around, and people don't seem to care. >_>

so how many nanoseconds after Dubai runs out of oil will this turn into the world's largest urban blight?
Will H. @ Nov 21st 2008 8:44AM
Exactly 0.0001 seconds later, everyone will jump into the Gulf.

Only about 17% of Dubai's GDP is from oil. The rest is from their innovations in just about everything. Plus, being a Muslim country, they do not solely base their economy on our fiat type money system with the Fed.
bernardino @ Dec 3rd 2008 6:15PM
Their GDP is mostly Real Estate, Trading and Financial, in that order. They knew they were going to run out of oil so they diversified by investing in their countries real estate big time and offering tax-free zones for high tech industries. Of course, they had all that money to blow in the first place because of their oil.

Think about how great it will be when someone hacks in and posts an "inappropriate" advert. Talk about worlds largest "Will you Marry Me" proposal!

Dubai's buildings are going to be screwed once impoverished arabs find out THIS is where all that oil money is going!

Is Dubai hated? I mean people hate how America is so superficial right? Well... nothing spells superficial like a 33-story LED Billboard. Yea it's great for gadget innovation and to say it can be done, but really?

I just think it's funny that people build these. Here in Boston we had a huge display that burned out and everyone started cheering. The company never fixed it because people hate the large displays so much.

Can't wait to see if you could see ads on this building from Outer Space :)
nano @ Dec 3rd 2008 10:28PM
You guys surprised? They're building an 82 billion dollar airport... Nothing they do surprises me anymore. Nothing.

I think this is making up for what the Dubaians lack in bed :-D
