Dan Farber previewed the next phase of CNET’s rolling redesign in today’s blog post. See the full image of CNET News here .
My previous comments hold. The body of the home page looks fine, with no complaints. However, I find the reflection in the sub-brands of “News” and “Download.com” quite distracting, and hard to read. The Web 2.0 reflection will be very dated in the near future, too.
Download.com new logo design
CNET News new logo design…without the .com
Larger question highlighted by these sub-brand treatments: how long until CBS Interactive puts the domain news.com in the service of general news?
Today’s preview includes a .com for the download design, but it’s notably absent for news. Also, www.news.com redirects to news.cnet.com now. For too long, news.com redirected to the never-beloved news.com.com (long story…not now). For a few brief weeks earlier this year, before the CBS ...

I didn’t plan to, but here I am watching the sun rise over San Francisco. Very quiet and still, clear and warm for a San Francisco morning, so it’s already a bright orange over downtown, even at 5:23am. Sun isn’t visible yet, but it will be soon. I should really go for a run instead of typing. When the brain starts going (an hour ago), sleep became fruitless. I’ll pay for it later, but I do enjoy this solitude. Sometimes I’m even productive, but not so much... more
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby finally bubbled up in Netflix. (OK, I pushed it to the top.)
I had seen the first 30 minutes already…and that was the best part of the movie, with laugh-out-loud funny scenes. So, I pop in the DVD on a Saturday night expecting to laugh, starting with the previously-viewed scenes. The repeat material was amusing, but not as funny the second time.
The bigger problem? The rest of the movie just sort of petered out…and it felt ... more
The French Lieutenant’s Woman , by John Fowles, doesn’t fit my usual genres. Yes, the novel falls in the category of historical fiction, which I do enjoy. But I rarely appreciate author-to-reader discourses. Fowles’ postmodern flourishes distract from a decent tale of love and class in Victorian England, with a dollop of Darwin.
I grabbed this one off the shelf at the library because it was on one of those “you should read these books before you die” lists bein... more
Book: The Afghan From: feeds.feedburner.com Post Date: 2007-06-10 21:37:25
Another one from a few weeks ago, Frederick Forsyth’s The Afghan is practically forgotten already. If you’re going to read Forsyth , it’s The Day of the Jackal or nothing. Slight exaggeration, perhaps, as there are other thrillers he’s penned worth your airplane ride… just not this one.
