What's the bill?

I notice that the amount spend was somehow not mentioned. I'm sure the price was astronomical (heh, see what I did there?).

Idiot says what?

So, they don't want to use version numbers, so they're going to use version numbers? What?

Did the width move for you, darling?

A navigation suggestion

Overall the redesign is fine w/ me. It just took me a few days to get used to it. One thing however that bugs me only slightly is how navigation and my current location within the site is shown.

I would suggest that the navigation bar (ie Harware, Software, Music, etc) should highlight which section I am currently viewing. I understand that this is shown via (more) text preceeding the first article on the page, but in a world where (page) real-estate is at a premium, why duplicate text that is already present in the navigation bar. As I stated, just highlight the item on the navigation bar to show which are of the site I'm currently browsing.

Just a suggestion. thanks

Umm...

While I don't doubt that plagarism occurred, has anyone bothered with contacting the "authors" to see what they have to say? Would be good for a laugh or two at the least.
