@beenyweenies - Yep, that's the idea. Read more

We haven't worked on an iPad version just yet... Read more

The layout is a prototype, not an eventuality. We just wanted to get feedback. Read more

It varies by site in ways that you could probably guess.... less usage on tech sites like Lifehacker and a bit higher on gossip sites like Gawker and Jezebel. IE8 is 5.0% of Giz traffic, for reference. On most sites the overwhelming majority of traffic is Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Read more

You can view any article on site by adding ?hd to the end of the URL. You unfortunately can't set it as your default view just yet. This is the very first version and there are lot of kinks to work out =) Read more

Yeah... unfortunately IE9 is a small enough % of our user base that we build things for webkit (Chrome/Safari) and Firefox first. IE9 is 4% of Giz's traffic right now. Read more

Thanks for the feedback, it's a beta version. We may or may not go with it. Just wanted to see what you guys thought. If we did roll it out as a formal version of the site, image and video quality would be improved and commenting would be turned on. Read more

Glad you like it. It's just a beta of HD right now... no commenting functionality. Just wanted to see what you all thought about a big, wide site. Read more

Thanks, we'll have the Safari issue fixed tomorrow morning! Read more

It's a beta so we haven't included comment functionality. This is just to put the design out there to see what people think. Read more

Try clearing your cookies for gizmodo... sounds like you were in HD mode but it didn't load. Read more

Thanks for the feedback. You're right, it's about balancing all four types of content and it's definitely not easy. We're trying to develop a version of the site that would balance all. This is the first version and definitely not what we'd release in the end. We know there's a lot of improvements that could be Read more

We'll have the Safari issue fixed tomorrow morning, sorry about that. Read more

Thanks for the feedback. Right now HD is definitely just a beta... we're seeing how folks like a full width site. We may or may not go with it. If we did, the site would of course be full featured (comments, forums, etc). Read more

Thanks for the feedback... the idea with the video is that the video is important enough that you'd want to watch it all the way through, not read the article. It's a prototype of the site - it demonstrates the idea of watching video AND reading at the same time. Thanks for checking it out. Read more

It's a very very beta version of what we may do in the future. Just demonstrates the idea of a full browser width, big video, big picture site. Read more

We're moving forwards, not backwards. Read more

Thanks, we'll have the Safari issue fixed tomorrow. Glad you like it! Read more

IE is silly. But sorry if you can only use IE on your work computer. Read more
