More specifically, browsers display lots of wasted space on wide aspect ratio screens. Taking advantage of that extra display area is a great thing. Although, I still wonder if having a dynamic layout will confuse users who aren't expecting it. You know, some web users hate change, especially change that occurs from one desktop computer to the next.

Keep it simple. zapada: Very few people actually resize the page, that’s one of the reasons I decided not to make the code even more complex by adding event handling. Keep it simple.

That would certainly give it a nice effect. Nice, now what if a reload wasn’t required? That would certainly give it a nice effect.
