Missing a negative exponential measurement of time
The folks over at Ars Technica launched a redesign of their site today. I like the new look, but they dropped one thing on their home page that always brought a smile to my face. On their old site, up at the top right under the logo they had a line saying
Serving the PC enthusiast for over 6×10-2 centuries
It was a great description of the geekiness of their readership (myself included) while poking a bit of fun at the rather short history of the Web to date. And now it’s gone. Oh, well. I suppose not enough people like negative exponents.
Update: Greg Hines points out in the comments that this is still there — it’s just far down on the bottom right of the page instead of in the top left. Also, I see that “PC enthusiasts” have turned into “technologists”. And the site has aged by two years.

It’s still there, just not in the same place. Look on the main page below the boxes in the right column.
