- maybe 3 columns are bad ... maybe not

- It seems to me that the basic concept here is sound. It's all about grouping similar information, which is always a good design point. The extra assertion here is that similar content should be arranged horizontally, which also makes sense because that's the shape of our monitors.
The Apple Store is rightly criticised, because similar information (e.g. iPods / iPod accessories) is separated into different columns. I'm not so convinced by the sites held up as examples of good design, but I get the point here.

- I'm not an artiste by any stretch of the imagination, but this article makes sense both emotionally and logically. Nicely done.

- Andy Rutledge criticises some established layout design practices and proposes better alternatives. Interesting.

 malfist rated 10 months ago- Bad bad ideas. The three column layout, while not the best for everything, is good for many things, the redesign of apples webpage looks awful, keep the 3 column format please. The news layout is annoying I hate it, use something like /. or something threaded. Not the horrible rows.

- Doesn't delve deeply enough. 3 column design with a FCA for example is excellent for landing pages (though not for content pages). It's an excellent way to make sure a wide range of user expectations for content are met above the fold. As for print vs online; the fact that many people are intimidated by long lines of text hold true for both mediums. And a page full of titles only exacerbates the problem of people who only read titles.
