So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Is it me or does this look virtually identical to www.thinkvitamin.com?
I wonder if Ryan Carson was involved, or has someone cheekily ripped off their design?

Ah... I've just realised that http://www.thinkvitamin.com uses a WooTheme, so presumably http://www.linux.com is using the same theme.

They totally, totally, totally got "inspired" (well, I'll say "copied verbatim") Fresh News from Woo Themes. The Fresh News designer noticed too (http://twitter.com/mjepson/status/1782070494). Unless they paid for the theme and then converted it to Joomla!, I think it's kind of shady to flat-out take a basic design idea (we're talking colors, exact proportions, probably almost identical stylings) for a site like this.

It appears that http://www.linux.com is using a Joomla Template from Joomlart - this CSS file (http://www.linux.com/templates/ja_vauxite/css/ja.news.css) on linux.com points to the template JA Vauxite (http://www.joomlart.com/templates_demo.php?template=ja_vauxite).
I really hope they've paid for a Fresh News theme too - using a Joomla Template that seems to borrow heavily from the proportions and basic layout of FN is one thing. But then incorporating pretty much the same color scheme as the FN design, that's too much.
Like you say, you wouldn't expect that from a high profile site like this, so hopefully everything is above board.

I wrote a blog post about this. Like martin.hicks said, Linux.com is using a Joomla template from Joomlart. The thing is that template by default is very different from how Linux.com is using it. Who ever did the linux.com "design" or implementation had to have changed it to specifically look like ThinkVitamin.com
Here's my post with some commenting starting to happen...
