amazon rip-off... they both have elvis stuff on the front page *all* the 
time, too...

but the tabs are so cute... ugh...

amazon meets barns and noble meets punkassgear... makes you 
feel dirty...

dunno, crashes NN...

tell me about it... view their frameset source... size="1,10000" ?  
no scrolling?  can't even see all the tabs at lower res...  here, too 
(http://www6.toysrus.com/start.cfm?) even after you break out of 
the parent frame... yuk... when you can't see all the tabs, they are 
useless...

> http://www.us.buy.com (sorta)

but simple...

> http://www.metacrawler.com

never even saw 'em up there...

or sites like http://cnbc.com/, where they aren't using a tab 
*metaphor* for the nav, but for the logos and stuff instead... 
otherwise, it's an arguable tabbed-ui...
