Ars Technica Redesign
Big Sigh of Relief: Ahhhh... Ars Technica redesigned using XHTML/CSS with some nifty widgets to toggle font size and color scheme. Readers can toggle back to the old color palette, should you choose, but I'm going to stick to the new look so I don't have to highlight everything on the screen in order to read it. Ken Fisher and Aurich Lawson, Designer of Ars Technica on the redesign:
Though we offer an alternate dark version, the most obvious change is the new default color scheme. I know, I loved 1998 too.
Amen!
Learn the details on the redesign, if you so desire. Or just take another deep breath with me, joyful that you can once again read Ars Technica. Here we go. Deep Breath. Exhale. Ahhhhh!

I can't believe some of the negative comments that they're getting on their forums. Accusing them of selling out? Sheesh! The content is exactly that same for goodness sake!
That said, it's unfortunate that they couldn't make it fully valid (because of the ad banners).

Aaah. Finally I can read Ars Technica articles without getting a headache.
