He didn't invent it, the font is called Pignose I believe.

I mean, come on! The little orange slash is through the 'S'... wtf.

"Your source for Comparison Shopping..." omg...

At least they didn't hijack Anand's newer "tab style". I think they copied the older Anandtech design.


This coming from someone who registered Anandtech.org?

Hahahah! Finally! I have been waiting for someone to say something.

Hey, I offered that domain to Anand and Zuni like 40 times, but they NEVER ONCE replied to me.

"An Anandtech t-shirt or coffee mug or something cool." That's exactly what I asked for.

You'll should speak to Narzy about that. He was trying to set up an AT gear store.

The newbies must be out in force tonight.;)

Guys, the design right there is a template; it's not AnandTech unique. Zuni has explained this once before, and while I forget what program it comes from(I want to say ColdFusion-something-or-other), the AnandTech design is nothing more than a modified version of that template, so people are free to use the same design. Now as for the slashed-A and "source" thing, those are a direct rip-off(since it's not part of the template, obviously), and the owner of the site obviously knows about the whole template thing, but none the less, those are the only things copied, not the whole site.

Yep, ViRGE is right. It's a Coldfusion template. Granted, this guy did go out of his way with his logo, but the rest of that page is a template.
