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).
