Amazon's new site design: what's different?
Change is in the air. Just last week we reported that eBay is updating its 1990s style design. Now it looks like Amazon is getting ready to give its online store a bit of a nip and tuck as well.
Don't expect any drastic changes. Most of the updates are cosmetic. For example, you can choose categories to search and browser through a navigation panel on the left side of any screen. You know, pretty much just like you can do now. The difference is you'll be able to choose categories and subcategories by hovering your mouse. No more waiting for a fresh page to load.

Let's start with the premise itself: Groundhog Day meets Memento. The game experience revolves around 'days': you explore the world and the clock slowly ticks towards the evening. You bounce around picking up gems and talking to the denizens of 'Level Upland'. Eventually you feel tired and head back to ...

How about actually getting rid of some clutter from the site? It's way too much information on one page. And would it be too much to ask to only return things i asked for? When i search for "assassins creed", that's all i expect in return. Not "assassins creed", halo 3, GTA IV and every other XBOX 360 game.
