Generally nice webdesign, but I have to say I despise the AJAX-or-whatever paradigm where you click on a link, and instead of bringing you to a new page it puts a semi-transparent overlay over everything and brings up some kind of stupid dialog box. (Also seen on Netflix, among other places that really should know better.) My reaction is a little something like "Hmmm... add to cart. WTF! Well, screw this!"

Yeah. It's honestly the kind of design that makes me never go back to a website. I would have cancelled my Netflix account if they hadn't abandoned this filthly little trick at least on the Opera browser.
