I prefer the previous layout because... 1. The page scrolled much more smoothly when it wasn't sectioned off, and the whole page scrolled as one. I think this is because it allows HW acceleration to work. 2. There is a button at the bottom of the page "Many More". I press it and get a circular busy type animation, then it goes back to showing "Many More". Nothing else seems to happen. 3. There are some collapsed articles, which show only the headlines. Yes I have been through all of the options tabs, and set everything to "Full Text", but there are still collapsed articles such as "Nvidia Unveils New Mid-Range GeForce Graphics Card". This will not show on my Android browser for example. 4. On the main page, it no longer shows how many comments there are, unless go into it by clicking on Read. Why? 5. The "Feedback" link doesn't work (hence I'm posting a comment instead). I can only dream as to why this would be.
Over all I am really disappointed by the changes. I appreciate the effort put in to trying to improve things, but I can't help thinking they've over engineered it this time around. Please please deal with point No 3 so that it can be viewed properly on my Android phone again!
(Using WinXP Pro SP3 32bit, Firefox 4 Beta 9, and Firefox 3.6).

PS. Is there a link available to the old layout still?
It is remarkable if Oracle or IBM would expect 'the community' to support them after this fiasco. What on earth do they expect? Google currently have FAR more respect with the open community, and OpenJDK would simply supplant Oracle's offering with Google's backing?
Guns are dangerous items, sure enough, and that's why responsible parents do their best to segregate their young'ns from them as well as all other potential sources of danger

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Stick a 5.25 inch floppy disk drive in there, just for the pose value.

We already see people walk around talking to themselves, usually with blue flashing lights coming from their one of their ears.
