I have a very hard time taking any UI advice from a web-site which puts a static bar at the top of the page which you cannot remove. It is like being sent back in time to iFrames and makes using your page with a vertical device horrifying.

I actually used the Chrome developer bar to Display: none it away. I guess that is the way you expect your users to use your site? Remove annoying counter-intuitive UI elements by eliminating them...
