#12Replacing the title with "Come back! We miss you!" when you leave the tab is cute but it makes finding the article in a sea of tabs difficult.
I completely agree. It's awesome in theory, but I would hate this feature if tons of sites started using it. It could get out of hand very quickly.

#13The best thing is that they are nominated to some Design Award http://cssdesignawards.com/search.php?search_term=kintek&sea...

#14It looks like they both have taken from twitter bootstrap. Both look like very uninspired marketing sites. Infinum, get over yourselves.

If you search Google for "cache:[interesting url]", it will take you directly to their cache for the page, if it exists

And why is that a problem? Isn't the whole idea of bootstrap to serve as a starting point?

It's not a problem. I'm just saying that Infinum seems to think they came up with a certain layout. When in reality, it just came from bootstrap.

#19They are pretty similar. Because of popular UI frameworks, large sites dedicated to design (and design trends in general), it's pretty normal for me to run into two web sites that look so similar I have to wonder if they're part of the same company.
Is there any other evidence that this was a copy or that the design was intentionally lifted and tweaked/modified from infinium, such as large swaths of JS (not from an open source library) or something ridiculous like a failure to remove your copyright, css elements that are unused on their site but used on yours, id tags in the html and the like that are unique enough to clearly have been copy/paste? Have these guys copied other things belonging to infinium?
I agree with others on the kudos: this was fun way to handle suspected plagiarism.

#20I worked at a company where our web site was copied by a competitor entering the same domain. They copied the look of the site but also copied the Google Analytics tag as well. We found out about them because their page views showed up in our analytics.
Boy-oh-boy I wish Google would lock analytics IDs down to a domain. Somebody in a university in Mexico City copied mine into a project they have in their www directory, and I just had to regex filter it out of GA.
