cnet rendering glitch?

Did I just hit cnet at a bad moment? Is my IE browser broken? This evening I was doing a little browsing in IE -- trying to remind myself why I love Mozilla and Firefox ;-) and I came across several sites that didn't look quite right. The most blatant rendering problem I found was at cnet. Here's what I see in win IE on my XP system:

and this is what I see in Firefox:

What's going on here? Has my IE install broken or is cnet coded to render in Gecko better than in IE?

update: duh, font size was set to larger in IE and cnet just doesn't handle font scaling (in any browser) well at all. Nevermind. Screenshots removed since it's not worth my bandwidth to point out my own mistake ;-)
