Huh. I just pulled up the site in Safari, and it looks identical to the way it does in Firefox. I think it looks pretty good, too.

My two comments:

1. Consider a few more borders, such as the bottom of the featured articles and to the left of the right column (i.e. top stories/articles/etc). Right now, the article bodies seem a little too floating. Not a major quirk, though.

2. The white/black contrast is a bit too harsh, especially near the top. Maybe this is what byteme is also seeing when he feels the ads are "in your face". The ad location doesn't bother me, but some gentler contrast (maybe a gradient?) would remove some of the harsh edges.
