Just a general comment about the site: I love your logo and headline styling, but why is the body text so unreadable? I know I can just ctrl+ it, but it seems that if you're building a better TechCrunch content-wise, why not shoot for better readability [reference intended] of the actual content? The emphasis looks like links and the graphic takes up a lot of room for an element that doesn't add anything.
The article text definitely needs some typography love. It's way too small and packed together (no idea what the legitimate phrases for that are, sorry typography-guys).
I find it amusing that the comments are more readable than the article itself.
