Contrary to a common belief, the Burj al-Arab is not rated as the world's only 7-star hotel but rather as a 5-star deluxe hotel. The maximum possible rating for a hotel is five stars.

its just a marketing ploy to say its 7 star.

Be prepared for lots of building work! Half of these buildings aren't even started or finished yet. My gf enjoyed her holiday there this year though.

Dubai is on a tight schedule to finish these buildings on time iirc. The first attraction was for it's oil, when that dries up, they will need all the tourists they can get to finance all this spending.

The Burj Al Arab is among three 7 star hotels, two of which are in Iran (Kish).

also who told you that Dubai has become rich from japan, china and india??

there is a migrant workforce in Dubai which consists of Indians and Pakistanis because there arnt enough locals to do the lower class jobs. Other than that there isnt heavy investment from india, china, and japan.

Iranian investments in dubai come to more than 4 billion dollars a year which is around 13 percent of investment in Dubai.

also you pointed out that they are building a second palm island, but actually they have started the third and largest one. www.thepalm.ae

as a matter of fact dubai's oil production is not very high, especially compared to their consumption. this is the primary reason why Dubai was forced invest heavily in tourism and service sector businesses, which proved successfull.

My mistake, I got my info a little confused :p

Dubai seems to know what they are doing. They have little to offer in terms of culture (in comparison to places like Egypt, Rome, etc), so they create some of the most impressive man-made items ever built to rival them - in essence they are aspiring to be a modern day Egypt.

It will be interesting when these projects are finished to see them and I hope they continue with these amazing projects.

I don't know if in dubay or another arambian country, But I hear that the people there use mercedez benz as the standard car, I mean, is like to say that the mercedez benz there is a toyota or Honda in USA, do u understand guys what I mean? apparently the people there have a lot of money and use only these cars :o :o

Its just something that people say but is far away from truth!

You can see all types of cars in Dubai.. and in the rest of the Arab cities!

in some other forum (Big Soccer I think) I read that people of Dubai dont have to work and that everything they need for is covered by the government.. Including food!

Don't believe all what you hear/read!

VidER

I have always wanted to go to dubai!

on top of all the other stuff discussed in this thread...they have the world's largest mall http://www.thedubaimall.com/

In Abu Dhabi there is this awesome hotel! http://www.emiratespalace.com/

    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
