Thank you; the io9 website is always completely broken for me for some reason -- any time someone links to it, all I get is their logo (or sometimes only part of it...) and a broken purple or white page with no text. I've tried turning off all my extensions (adblock, flashblock, etc) but it is still totally broken. This is with the latest Firefox on Windows, in case anyone at their site reads this and cares to try to fix it.
