Yahoo’s New Look

Yahoo is testing a new homepage layout. Personally I don’t like it as much from an aesthetic standpoint – feel like its lost some color… But I do think it does a better job of displaying their news content. Makes me further associate them as a media portal and less as a search engine.
Notice that its designed for 1024 resolution. I’m sure alot of research went into that decision. If it hasn’t already been said for the past year, its now the time when you can design for 1024, as 800 is now like the third most popular resolution, as far as I know…
