Perhaps it is the sticky "menu" bar on top. Is it just me or do other people really despise these sticky bars that people like to stick on the top/bottom of their sites.
I despise the valueless menu bars that people stick to the top/bottom of the frame... e.g. those dumb social bars...
But the idea that a menu bar moves up/down with the page content is a holdover from print media. A tasteful and useful menu bar that sticks to the top of the frame is a very useful piece of UI; why is the world should I have to scroll to the `top of the page to find the menu? GMail does it nicely. I think the Techcrunch bar is actually pretty useful (even if I think the rest of the design is straight 1996).
I desire to buy larger and larger monitors, am forced to buy HD aspect ratio monitors, and then find all these webmasters spooging all over my monitor with their various toolbars and spambars and crapbars and wastebars and iebars until I eventually get back to a 320x240 pixel screen.
When I see these toolbars, I just want to reach out through the intertubes to find the developer and cut off his damned fingers to prevent him ever writing any more code...
