Great job making the font size respond to Cmd+. Many sites seem to drop the ball on this important feature (ahem LinkedIn, NYTimes mobile).

#13It is worth checking out. Really neat how well it does go from big to small. Was this done with Javascript/jQuery?
In principle it's doable with just CSS properties, but I don't know quite how good the browser support is.

#14Keep in mind that the point isn't to be flashy when you resize your window, it's that the site will work just as well on tiny mobile screens, medium tablet screens, and large computer screens without separate domains, crappy shim layers (I'm looking at you, wp-touch), etc.

As an SJSU alumnus, I'm glad to see this.

#17I think responsive design that changes when resized like this is a bit annoying and unexpected. When I'm using the page and I resize it, I lose my place on the page and all the content reflows. There's nothing in traditional media that works that way.

That's just it - for me, it seems like they achieved responsive design without being broken and annoying.
But some of it is subjective, and I only saw the new design today. It might not hold up so well to heavy use.

Or for people who like to not have their browser be fullscreen all the time.
