On my non-retina MacBook the newsletter signup bar takes up about 1/3 of the screen real estate on that page. Seems a bit ironic for something that teaches us about a good UI...
Similarly intrusive on the iPad.
Yeah, same here... fairly annoying, but I wonder how it impacts conversions...
A good user interface doesn't have a undismissable sign up bar that takes up 1/3 of the screen.
Well man, nice job. If only we didn't know this stuff....
