Damn Terrorists have too much money to waste :angry:

As opposed to America, with its multi-billion dollar bailout to GM...which still led to bankruptcy?

or the multi-billion dollar bailout plan for the banks and financial institutions in the good ol' US of A? financed by money they don't have?

At least these so called "terrorists" are investing the money...which they already have!

but noooooo.....

DEM TERRIRISTS!!!11!!! :p

AHAHAHAHA!! you just made my day lol

Grotesque waste of money just like everything in Dubai, if you have money to waste stand on the 2nd largest tower and throw it off the top.

It's waste of money to attempt the greatest engineering feat in the world? I envy those who were able to participate in this project.

Yeah what a waste, them trying to secure a feature for their nation.

They should just accept that oil is a mere temporary wealth and that within 50 years, they should revert back to a poor nomadic desert nation. damn them for trying to be more than they are and trying to show the rest of the world how a small nation can build a future for itself even after it runs out of their temporary weatlh.

I couldnt give a toss, the next more richer arab will just build a bigger tower, then the more richer person will build one bigger than that, it has nothing to do about building "features" its "who has the most cash and the biggest ****" competition.

Not it's about building a business and vacation center. about makign a fture for their nation after the oil.

And having grand stuff is what attracts people. Have you even seent he renderings of the final city around the towers and the fake islands, that complete living city package. a city of a new generation, a global center of commerce and entertainment. it's what's going to keep them alive after the oil.

They're oil sheiks, they're not stupid, they aren't building giant towers just to show off, sure that's part of the package, but it's not the goal to throw away billions to build giant empty buildings.

The view from the top floors must be breathtaking. I wonder if they'll make a transparent observation deck like I saw somewhere else. I also hope it has a fully equipped fire station every 30 floors or so. Fighting a blaze on that monster will be a real nightmare.

Dubai does not fund most of the terrorism in the Middle East. Thats just dumb. Terrorists in the middle east tend to attack oil installations. If your source of money came from oil, why would you pay to lose that income?

They may have the world tallest building but they're still a backward living country.

1) Dubai is not a country. Its part of the UAE.

2) Read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Arab_Emirates before you make judgements about a nation you know nothing about.

    • Apple releases iOS 26.5.2 with dozens of security fixes for iPhone

      By Nas · Posted

      I'm still rocking iOS 25.x on my primary phone cuz iOS 26 still has usability quirks (mostly aesthetic and thus its UX) which I don't wanna deal with -- and I've been piloting them with all of these updates on my backup phone, so I'm well aware of its "improvements" since iOS 26 was first released (compared to version 26.5.x).
