Okay, so it's actually a building, but it's still pretty funny.

I wonder which one would be more of a pain in the ass to use as a mouse.

Hehe, I now picture an iPhone building in Dubai

That must be a really expensive design and is actually one of the most amazing architectural design I've seen.
Look at the ground is that marble, granite, or slate? Whatever it may be it's encompassing a very large area and had to be very very expensive also. -

Yes, they are but it just raises the pollution levels.
That first one must be a great feat! I just want to ask "How the hell?!?!"
I really like the Beijing 2008 Olympics main stadium its such a amazingly thought out vast structure.
I'm very interested in architecture as you might know. -

Hi
That 'Apple' mouse building certainly looks interesting.
I've been to Shanghai and I can tell you the buildings are way overboard. In the sense that, the authorities want to show that China is king of the world, so they ask the officials to build space age and lotsa modern looking buildings to achieve that effect. No kidding.
The buildings you see, not just in China, but also in places like Dubai and Singapore (the Esplanade) have also such characteristics. Here's a picture of the Esplanade in Singapore:

Well, the architects are wondering the same, as they don't get to know how to finish it!! The building, as you may know, will be the new headquarters of the Public TV Broadcaster, CCTV.

I think we are just to greedy over here, and want to get every possible dollar for the cheapest price, so we just make big blocks for a "cheap" price and call it a day.
