The site is somewhat annoying in that the stories 'move' left to right.
Its also annoying for me as I use the zoom(150%) in IE9 and part of the page disappears with no scroll bars. Teething problems I guess.

Some interesting stories on there, take a look.
Be warned these arent short news stories, they are more akin to essays.

That is the most retarded website design since geocities closed. Fuck these people.

I said in the other thread that this would just be another looney looney far left wing extremist cover emagazine and look, i was right.

Just look at this gem for example,
http://www.theglobalmail.org/feature/australias-one-per-cent-rising-with-a-bullet/27/

While inequality is not as stark in Australia, the country's one per cent have as much accumulated wealth as the bottom 50 per cent of the country — and the gap between the haves and have-nots is growing even faster than in the US.

Malcolm Turnbull lost the leadership of the Liberal Party two years ago. Some think he’ll be back.

http://www.theglobalmail.org/feature/the-unhysterical-history-of-islam-in-australia/24/

From the misreporting of a picnic “massacre” almost a century ago to SIEV4 and beyond, the Muslim population of Australia has been lumped together and misunderstood. The Global Mail begins an ongoing series.

TRIPLE FACEPALM C-C-C-C-C-C-COMBOOOOOOO

Clicked exit after i read "begins an ongoing series" oh god. A muslim apologist ongoing series, what more could we want? Pure far left wing propaganda. I knew the site would have muslim propaganda on it.

scrolling thin italic font? who are they kidding?

Interesting layout, but they're breaking too many rules at once, too hard to use.

Still, give it time.

Who the fuck horizontal scroll to read web pages? This ain't a book or a magazine or windows phones, they failed UI design.

Jesus that's a total artfag webpage layout.

By the way for those inclined to longer reading and don't know about it already:

http://theconversation.edu.au/

Mainly academics/professionals having an outlet to write about things in a public and less formal way than conferences/journals. Was setup by CSIRO and a few uni's.

you would think they'd at least make the side scrolling go page by page on a swipe for the iPad right.

no.....it's like a game, the faster i swipe the further it goes. so far i've managed to swipe a whole story. it's like a poker machine rolling through the pages till it stops.

I actually thought they might have done that whole design just for the tablet crowd. I am surprised to hear it doesn't work on tablets at least!!

Its GetUp with journalists.
Disappointing.
