Where everything is done with a "bigger, taller and tackier is better" tude...Dubai opened the world's tallest skyscraper Monday in a blaze of fireworks. It renamed the half-mile-high tower for the head of neighboring Abu Dhabi, whose billions bailed out Dubai amid last year's financial crisis.Long known as Burj Dubai - which is Arabic for "Dubai Tower" - the building rises 2,717 feet - 828 meters - from the desert. The $1.5 billion "vertical city" of luxury apartments and offices and a hotel designed by Giorgio Armani also plans to have the world's highest mosque - 158th floor - and swimming pool -76th floor.
What do you think of this uber skyscraper?
