I hate the new Gizmodo/Gawker layout
« on: February 08, 2011, 11:33:57 AM »
I would have posted this at Giz, but I couldn't find out how to comment in their new crappy layout. Why can't these companies leave well enough alone. Why do they always have to funk shit up? The dual panes are annoying, and now all of my mouse gestures do weird things on the page.

Maybe it's just me.

Look at you, hacker: a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?

I got them, Ivan.  I did.

But SOMEONE went and un-derailed this thread and put it back on-topic.

Methinks the newbie should probably be a moderator.  He successfully distracted me by that.   :x

Sorry to res a thread on life support, but I found out that I can still get the old Gizmodo layout by going to http://uk.gizmodo.com/

So now my nerd rage has lessened. :)
