What's a good example of a page-blocking modal box? I never found one that wouldn't be better as a pop-up, like the new email dialog on Gmail, or as extra content to the main page, like most confirmation dialogs.

I go open step below that: most of my news comes from The Economist and similar weekly newspapers, but I also keep notification spam for important news from the BBC, which is mostly unbiased. I'm glad I know about yesterday's resi
