The changes on the homepage a minimal, howserver they have made some big changes to the artical pages ( http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/08/business/international/asi... ). Note that you can now scroll through the entire article, no clicking next three times!

Seems like they increased the font size, at least slightly? Which would definitely be a positive thing in my opinion. Anyone have side-by-side screenshots?

The font size on the article pages now seems better, but the homepage is still tiny. I zoom the homepage 120% (two steps in Firefox), but now I don't need to zoom the article pages. With a browser that remembers zooming per-(sub)domain, this works well since I read the international edition, which has it's own subdomain.

I like the new article pages generally, but I might need to write a userstyle to remove the position: fixed on the floating top bar.

I like the clean typography, and appreciate that they were content with subtle changes rather than something "radical." But why, oh why, did they add one of those horrible floating bars at the top of the screen? Those things almost always break page-down, yo!

How do you like the typography? I find e.g. the italic font for the headlines in the left column or the small all caps serif format of the bylines to be somewhat detrimental to readability.

Page down is working for me...

It's OK. Tech isn't on the home page. Still prefer Quartz.

They removed the Technology link from the main page...

Go to Sections -> News -> Technology. Quite a bit hidden.
