Rooftopping on the Top of the Tallest Building in the World
National Geographic photographer Joe McNally snapped a shot that some
call “the mother of all rooftopping photos.” Standing atop the Burj
Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, Joe shared this amazing photo on Instagram from about 820 meters high!
“My old battered shoes climbed the worlds tallest building today.
What an amazing structure! Tweeting from 820 meters straight up!”

New BMW 6-series takes dictation, shows virtual gauges
BMW announced new features for its 2014 6-series model today, including
an advanced voice recognition system that can take dictation from the
driver and send out an email or text.
The tech arms race between BMW and Audi is yielding some amazing cars, such as the Audi S7
we recently reviewed. BMW fights back with its newly announced 2014
6-series, featuring revised cabin electronics that will not only take
dictation and send out emails for the driver, but also debuts a new
digital instrument cluster.
BMW touted the new voice recognition system for the 6-series in a press
release today, noting its simplified voice commands and control over
most cabin tech features. The new system will let drivers activate a
dictation mode, having the
car
transcribe emails and text messages. The car reads out the resulting
text and includes voice controls for making simple edits. The driver can
send the text to anyone in her paired phone's contact list through
email or text message.
The new 6-series also lets owners pair two phones at a time, a feature
useful for couples. The system makes one shared contact list from the
two phone accessible through voice command or with BMW's iDrive system.
A special edition of the 6-series, the Frozen Brilliant White
Convertible, comes out in early May, and will be the first BMW in the
U.S. to feature the Dynamic Digital Instrument Cluster. This new
instrument cluster from BMW is completely virtual, showing virtual
gauges on an LCD. The type of gauges and the aesthetic design changes
based on the car's driving mode.
The 2014 6-series will be offered in coupe and convertible forms, and as
the four door Gran Coupe. M6 versions will come out with a no-cost
option for a six speed manual transmission. BMW designed the manual
transmission to automatically match engine speed for seamless shifts,
although it turns off rev-matching in Sport Plus mode.

“City Pack” Nike Lunar Force 1
The Nike Lunar Force 1 gets dressed in another City Pack, this time
highlighting some major metropolises overseas and one right here in the
States. The three-pack of Forces takes inspiration from New York,
London, and Milan and covers the shoe in patterns and materials native
to each region. The New York pair goes with a rugged Yankees themed set
that features a slick grey and navy suede and leather upper. The London
version stitches a traditional Tartan print over the upper, which looks
great coupled with beige touch-ups and green Swoosh and laces. The Milan
variation looks straight off the runway thanks to a premium black
leather outer matched with a camel leather interior, and finished off
with a leopard Swoosh and heel. These will be available at select stores
like Mita.
