    Awesome, one down, the rest of Gizmodo’s staff to go.

    I haven’t touched more than one or two Gawker articles since the redesign. It’s ugly, makes it harder to use, and sucks down my system memory. Literally, it just about increases geometrically. I walked away to smoke one time, and came back to see Firefox pulling most all of my cycles, and like 300 megs of memory.

    I hate that site. Most of them really can’t get over themselves.

  • bfarn

    Yeah I can’t stand Gawker’s new redesign either.

    That’s funny – I checked into the comments just to say that Gawker is dead to me unless they undo the terrible site redesign. It’s very obviously about forcing more ads into your face, which is understandable, but the cost to readability/functionality is too high for me. I’m out. My gadget news comes from Engadget now.
