Wah, you had to resize your browser? I think it makes sense to use the real estate. Wide screens are rapidly becoming the more prominent screen out there and screen sizes are getting larger and larger. Makes sense to place the nav on the left instead of taking up the more limited vertical space with rows of tabs. Visually unless I am looking to navigate I don't consider area while I am viewing the product "viewport". We are going to see this nav layout become more popular. I like the larger cart iconage as well as the good sized search pieces. I think they have work to do in the non nav area with layout as you mentioned.

And you are?I'm using the terminology used by at least two of the biggest web sites in the world. You, of course, are free to call it whatever you like.

It's called A/B testing, not bucket testing.
