Here are some more details:
CNN on Codex Sinaiticus
I saw this too. The site is pretty slow and unreliable though. The text itself is all done graphically, of course, and the graphic files are cut up and reassembled (to prevent unwanted copying?). (Sometimes a frame or two was missing, the first time I looked. Seems to be better this morning.)
There is parallel Greek text in a separate pane, with a translation (choice of a few modern languages: Russian, Greek, German and English) in another pane.
It'd be cool to link to this site through LDLS, or make the codex itself directly available. Yes, I know we have a transliteration of it into modern the Greek alphabet. I mean the actual text, either graphically, or through an alphabet of the same style as the one we see here, with the same formatting and other writing conventions.
The site is presently "slow and unreliable" because it got slammed by about 20 million hits (that's an accurate figure according to http://evangelicaltextualcriticism.blogspot.com/2009/07/codex-sinaiticus-servers-crashed.html ). Let the glitz and furor die down, and I'm sure the site will become more reliable when Sinaiticus retreats from the news cycle.

The transcription is now available in XML format through http://www.codexsinaiticus.org/en/project/transcription_download.aspx
Any interest in turning this into a Logos resource (perhaps as a Personal Book)?
