More Dubai

This photo. There are more construction photos here. Obviously some photoshopping to fade out the city, but even so. Wow.

(Personally, I'd hate to live/work in a building that's no more than just one big revolving restaurant)

Nothing could ever possibly go wrong with that, ever!

The only thing I like about this building (doesn't talk about it much in this video) is that there are VAWTs tucked in between each floor. Supposedly, the 78 story one in Dubai (future plans are for Moscow and NYC) will generate a minimum of 40 MW of energy. It would be nice to just pump all that energy back on to the grid rather than wasting half of it on moving the damn floors around.
