As an aside, does anyone else besides me find small white text on a black background incredibly painful to read? My eyes have a very hard time focusing on it.
Same here. I started reading, made it about 1-2 sentences, and then started scrolling for headlines. There were none. The combination of white-on-black and the structure just led me to close the tab.
I think the problem must be a bad interaction between the antialiasing of the font renderer and monitor gamma. Font renderer thinks gamma has some value, monitor outputs it with some entirely different gamma value, meaning the antialiasing makes lines look thinner (or thicker) than they actually are.
