Regular users will not need that left sidebar to be reminded of what sections they have configured for the page, and it takes up a large amount of screen space. The right sidebar might be useful to more people, but the "In the News" block is just words and phrases pulled from the main content. It seems redundant.
Overall I like the fresh look. Google News is one of the few sites I have been visiting almost every day for well over a decade now!
"The trouble is that UNIX is not accessible, not transparent in the way that Interleaf is, where you sit down and start poking around in the menu and explore the whole system. Someone I know sat down with a Macintosh and a Lisa and was disappointed because, in a half hour, he explored the whole system and there wasn't as much as he thought. That's true, but the point is in half an hour, almost without a manual you can know which button to push and you can find nearly everything. Things don't get lost. I think that's the key."
"When can that stuff go portable? You don't really want to have a telephone in the office or be tied to an office. You'd like to have the office with you and the phone with you. I want to be able to turn the phone off, thank you. I think that's going to require very different technology."
"I don't think you need to have a disk with you. There are so many people who believe that you need to have a disk that you'll be able to have one because they'll make it cheap."
