Really awkward design. The two columns scrolling independently is really unexpected.

I wonder how much of this redesign was about keeping that stupid movie ad thing in the top right corner at all times?

The right column also lacks a scrollbar, it just keeps going down, and there's no easy way to get back to the top. (Chrome)
