Builder.com cosmetically improved?

Builder.com cosmetically improved? Builder.com refines their site with a better homepage and category pages... but as far as I can see, no change to the actual article layouts themselves. What do you think - anyone read Builder.com anymore?

Well, not really, I do though check out download.com and the hardware section, cnet is nice, it' lost it's popularity somewhat, since the web branched out, but hey, whatever. They did some very thin cosmetic changes, to update with times, nothing major, I like it.

Hey Builder.com. Your fonts are too small!

No, really. I can't beleive that sites are resorting to such small fonts in their re-designs. What's wrong with letting the end user choose the font size via the browser preferences? I mean, that's what the preferences are there for.

Yeah funny thing I actually was there today and happened upon the redesign. I guess they want to be in on the redesign gig that everyone else is on.

Yeah, builder.com is usually 3 - 4 months behind anything going on, unless they are trying to hype some crappy new commercial product. This design is somewhat better than before, but so what? Too much fluff.
