Wow... it's ok, people are building wide layouts (wider than 800px) with no fall-back plans. Oh well go ahead and put the advertising over there, no one wants to click that stuff anyways. :)

The design is just barely contained in the 960pixel width container. Just a thought on side-scrolling for the 800 club, they have to scroll-down, scroll-over, and repeat up to 4 times or more to see the entire page, on a page of that length. Note:960px width is fine by me, but I know other's happier at 800px for now, talk those folks into buying wide monitors maybe, that'ld be a great fix!

Eh - the 960px width is fine by me - people are getting used to it...

The site is eerily similar to nytimes.com though.

It doesn't work for me with my browser's default setting. I have to maximise my browser to view it completely. Oh well, another website to use my custom stylesheets to change width to 100%.

I think it depends on your target audience. TIME is a widely read magazine but I would assume their target audience is the 40+ age group. Most people in that age group keep a smaller screen size for visibility reasons. But if it is a site like this one most of the people visiting would be designers/developers that have a higher screen resolution by default. I think TIME should be 800 x 600 just because of who will probably be reading it.

You know what? I was just going to say how nice a design it was - until I clicked on Print Preview.

Their print style sheet is simply non-existent. Their branding is totally absent from any printed article.

For a website this big, that's pretty unacceptable.
