Make Scala in a nutshell bullets more prominent #643

After visiting the Scala Web site for 2 years, I hadn't noticed you could click on the "bullets" on the main page to uncover Scala code examples ("Seamless Java interop", "Type inference", "Concurrency & distribution", "Traits", "Pattern matching", "Higher-order functions").

Is there a way to make these more prominent? Doesn't look like the redesign changed them much in #606 (although font contrast is better). Maybe there's a user interface trick that could hint that that you need to click on them. Or maybe they could just be entirely rethought. Currently, "click the boxes below to see Scala in action! " in 12 pixel font in lower contrast colors and the background color changing on hover is not making it obvious.

I don't have any suggestions, but given the defect in the concurrency example in #641, it seems I'm not the only one missing them. Enabling Tut, see #639, might fix the deprecated code problem, but I'm pretty sure visibility is also a problem. They're worth making more visible, IMO.
