Looks great, Loving the Buyer's Guide redesign
I'm loving the Buyer's Guide redesign with the red, amber and green lights to indicate where we are in the buying cycle.
Great work.

I second this. I liked it wider, alllllll the way across my screen wide.
Overall the new layout is very nice though. My only real issue is mentioned above. (and love it or hate it, voting was a nice way to quickly see people's reaction to a story. I won't really miss it though.)
Do people seriously have full-screen-width browser windows on 27" or 30" monitors?
Exactly, I have 4 windows open. Full screen browser on 27" to 30" makes ANY webpage look stupid.

I have a 24" display and even i don't do anything outside of movie/picture viewing in full-width
Did anyone else notice that it now shows Top Rated Comments when you click on an article link? That is a pretty cool use of the new comment vote up/down rating system implemented on the forums.

Those are no different than listing the amount of comments posted. It is still impartial, but with links to the "opinion" side of the site.
I don't like it :S, its running really slow for me as well... I don't see any performance improvement in fact its much slower for me... (I have cleared cashes etc its still running bad)
And so much white space due to it not scaling to bigger resolutions. I preferred the old way.
Don't take that as an insult or anything.. its just my opinion and what I am experiencing.

More to the point, if they DO actually do that then shouldn't they be used to a lot of white space by now? I'd think a lot of pages out there are fixed-width designs. Yet it seems to be something they're not used to. That surprises me.
White space in layout is actually aesthetically pleasing and makes for easier reading. It's just good typographic form that is equally applicable to the web.
Nice... very nice! Alot better UI than the previous. Only criticism is it looks 'too' white but other than that, its great!

I'm on a netbook right now, and even I have 1" margins on either side
But seriously though, great job. It looks much cleaner than the old version. I'll just have to see how my Android phone likes the fixed width-- it tends to adjust the text to fit the screen as you zoom, unlike the iPhone which just zooms up to the text. I hope I don't need to do side scrolling to read each line on my phone now

So, the number of comments / tweets add 'news', but the fact that a big number of Apple fans dislike being tracked by their iPhones is not newsworthy?
The positive/negative voting system did not spoil the separation of opinion and news, since it showed the opinion of the readers not that of the editors.
And as I said, why don't you just ignore the little tidbits that are not of interest to you? Did those little numbers bother you THAT much that you need to take them away from everyone else?
