World’s largest LED screen coming to Dubai

October 8th, 2008 by

By this point, you should fully understand that “Dubai” and “world’s largest” go hand-in-hand, so it’s quite fitting that said city is receiving the planet’s most humongous LED screen. Designed by UAE development company Tameer Holding, the 33-story high display will reportedly be “embedded on an intended commercial tower in the Majan district of Dubailand,” where it will stand tall and blast out advertisements to onlookers some 1.5-kilometers away. Dubbed Podium, the building will also house 33 levels of “premium commercial office space, two floors dedicated to retail and four floors for parking.” There’s no word on when the project will be completed, but we don’t suspect Tameer will be dragging its feet in getting this up.

AOTS builds “world’s largest arcade machine”

Filed under: Gaming

We’ve never really watched much of Attack of the Show, but we hear it’s hosted by some nerdy types that are somehow better looking than us — which simply can’t be correct. All that aside, those (debatably) sexy nerds have taken it upon themselves to build the world’s largest arcade machine, and even invited over the Guinness Book of World Records folks to check it out on tonight’s show. The arcade machine stands more than 13-feet tall, sports a 70-inch or so screen, and probably runs Doom. The show airs tonight at 7PM on G4, where hopefully they’ll unveil the specs behind this bad boy.
