check out these 2 pictures, just amazing that only in 14 years time.., its basically Sim City.

Industry experts cautiously estimate that 15 to 25 per cent of the world’s cranes are in Dubai. Some US$ 90 BILLION are on-going in Dubai alone.

Also, I recently saw an article on a local(Belgian) tv-station, Kanaal3, about Belgian dredging company Jan De Nul building a 310-hectare island on Dubai waterfront.
Check out this AMAZING video! with 3D view and everything.

btw I hate that whole Web 2.0/Ajax hype. Not because of the concept, the concept is great, but these days everybody wants Ajax on their site, cause they’ve seen it on Gmail.

Everything’s got to be draggable. It’s all about minimalism, transparency, and you, your user expirience. Actually I plead guilty to the hype, I’ve got transparency on my site.

wow how did I get from a flickr page to this.

Apparently Netscape boss Jason Calacanis offered to pay Digg’s top posters (as well as the top posters on Newsvine, Flickr, Reddit, and del.icio.us) to post on netscape.com’s ripoff Digg page instead.

Digg’s Kevin Rose said some stuff on his podcast about ripping off idea’s, Calacanis took it personally and flamed back on his blog.
Read the article from Leo for more insights. I guess Kevin won this round.

By the way, there’s another huge story about some digg lovers hacking Netscape’s homepage, showing some pop-up messages like this.

I laughed my ass off when I saw this, ..till I heard two people died.

Mr Clark said: “I was walking along the river front with Sophie and we just saw something coming towards us. It was very large, sort of rectangular shape, it’s hard to describe really.
