For an Apple-centric site, their mobile interface is quite annoying. It obscures ~1/3 of the content until you begin scrolling and then the nav bars disappear until you stop scrolling only to reappear. To make matters worse, clicking the button to use the full site dumps you on the main page, not on the article you were reading.

I noticed the same thing this morning. I like the amount of care they put into the interface, but a few things are wrong. First, when you click through to an article it doesn't go directly to the article. Second, the issue you mentioned. Its very distracting to have the interface fading in/out when trying to scroll.

I really like how their main site is too wide to read on the iPhone, even in landscape. You need an Android phone with it's text re-formatting to actually read it. Oh, the irony.
