Clearly and obviously Verge-inspired, only that their Microsoft section, called One Microsoft Way is nowhere to be found. Good if they got rid of it. It was pro-MS propaganda by Peter Bright.

its a bit cluttered but nowhere near as bad as this site

I really dislike designs that make it hard to see the chronological order of the articles; this redesign is one of them and it seems to be targeting people who go for catchy titles and images rather than the newest.

That said the "magazine" style front page is the only bad aspect, once you change it and start reading the articles it's a relatively nice design

Reminds me of Wired, the old layout was better.

Way too much on that first page. its overload.

Seems to be inspired from The Verge, no thanks!

I'm surprised there's noone that likes it. Usually, even bad designs get at least a few props.

But for the record, I don't like it either.

Sucks, it used to be one of my favorite sites before they made it impossible to read.

I don't know why this trend has come in over the last year or so - but now every website seems to want to bombard you with information. Gawker did it, and now Ars technica are doing it.

It is too hard to comfortably view a page when you are presented with 2,500 seperate snippets of articles broken up with random smatterings of giant text.

It's about the first thing you learn in presenting information.

Verge-inspired? Nope.

Looks awful, luckily I read most of the headlines through RSS readers. The new logo is a step back as well, and they have 5 different non complementary fonts on the page. Urgh.

The page is fine, but then again I don't have ADHD and not easily distracted.

Neither do a lot of people.

Don't be an arse.

Nice design but my eyes are wandering and lost trying to find content.

Edit: Ah that's better, you can change the layout.

I like it but it seems like a pretty processor intensive design, it feels a little laggy on my media PC.
