DVD menus are annoying enough when you're trying to watch a film, and they're supposed to be entertaining. Can you imagine if every website was like that?

That functionality doesn't exist today, so it would be a new protocol. One that would be almost as complicated as HTTPS, would be starting from zero as opposed to the 50% usage of HTTPS on the internet, would require new code to be wri

A frowny push doesn't tell you what mistake you've made, it forces you to guess what's going through the customer's head.

If you get disturbed an average of every five seconds then you have around 6 million visits per year. Usually something worth celebrating for a new site, and you don't have to keep it on indefinitely :)
