To mark that occasion, its Editor-in-Chief Jai Singh wrote an article, in which he reflects on their founding slogan of 'Tech News First' and their commitment to that going forward. He also announces a brand new redesign that was unveiled yesterday. To that I'd add, here's to another seven more! Thoughts or opinions, anyone?"

Yay for tableless design. by reaper20 · 2003-09-14 19:17 · Score: 5, Insightful

Wow, CSS, XHTML, and and lots of div tags. Doesn't validate, but they're better off than they used to be, at least they made an attempt I guess.

To bad they ruin it with static width pages. You'd think they'd know this after 7 years.

I tought it was vice versa: CNET aquired ZD. See CNET buys rival Ziff-Davis for $1.6 billion
