Ars Front Page
The Ars Technica Front Page has two main sections: From The News Desk and Features. The News Desk typically consists of short articles featuring analysis of technology and science-related news, with occasional forays into sci-tech related political commentary. The News Desk came under scrutiny in March of 2006, when IPDemocracy.com blogger Cynthia Brumfield accused Ars Technica of using material from her site without attribution. Ars writers Eric Bangeman and Nate Anderson apologized for the error.[2]
The Features section is sub-divided into two subsections:
- From the journals contains a selection of recent posts from Journals.Ars.
- Below the journals posts are a selection of recent featured articles such as in-depth features on science and technology issues, regular columns (such as those relating to Linux and OS X), hardware and software reviews, and the Ars System Guide - a regular feature that advises readers on which components to pick when building their own PCs, whatever their budget.
Links at the top of the front page provide access to deeper areas of the site, including regularly updated pages relating to subjects such as Technology and Culture, CPU Theory & Praxis, Hardware, etc. The content of articles often overlap the various categories, with non-column articles tending to be more technical in nature.
