So...what do you all think?

Any and all comments/feedback are appreciated, I'll post more about the new site later tonight/tomorrow morning - I'm just testing out the blog posting functionality right now :)

Take care.

    Actually, I hate it. I wasn't going to say anything but you asked. THere are way too few articles listed in the body of the page, so if I don't check in daily, I suspect I'll miss something important.

    the best part about the new site design is that Macs get treated like every other computer the way they should be..... thanks for following thru on your word to add a mac section and forum.

    First the fourms now this.
    With everyone changing everywebsite it is nice to be able to come home to a place where you know where things are. I have no home now.

    Hi. I´m a Brazilian reader. It´s going to take some time to get used to the new web design. The problem is that in Brazil we have 4 diferent times and your site doesn´t display my region´s time properly (I´m in Sao Paulo and your site is 1 hour late than our clocks). Take that out altogether. No one is going to miss it. Also, get rid of all those spywares and keep up the usual good work.
    Greetings from Brazil.

    Its a bad move having to click to open each news story in its own window -- maybe try a clickable link for each days news

    I really liked the old way of having the news headlines right out there on the front page. It made the page fast, because once its loaded you have access to all the news. Establising a TCP connection is slow, by having it all in the first go, I could read what I care about (news) and perhaps once in a while read one of the reviews.

    Hence, I dislike the new design because you've removed the news. I dont care about bandwidth. Even the slowest connections used today can handle 300k text easily. But establishing the connections is another matter, this takes time and resources. Once they are up, you should hurl as much data through it as possible, before you bring it down.
