Can I move the top menu bar?
As a Windows/Fedora/Mac/Ubuntu user, the menubar at the top of the screen has always bugged me. It doesn't go away and you can't move it. I've tried dragging it away in vain several times. It would look so nice on the right, just like my taskbar.
But after experiencing success with asking other questions that I thought impossible, I decided to ask it here to see if anyone knows how. So, with no further ado:
How can I move the top menu bar in Mac OS X?
I think the only moving of the menu bar you can do is from monitor to monitor.
SecondBar gives you, well, a second menu bar. It is draggable, so you could position it in the middle or bottom of your screen, but I can't get it to change orientations to go vertically on the right.
You can not re-position the menu bar, but you can configure it to be hidden when idle by checking the option 'Automatically hide and show the menu bar' under the General tab of System Preferences. Screenshot provided for further clarification.
The top menu bar is non-moveable since the first version of MacOS and later Mac OS X.
You can't move it (tho you can drag it to an external display if you have one).
As mentioned in other answers the menu bar can unfortunately not be moved. However - as of El Capitan - it is possible to hide it!
It is in General | Appearance | Automatically hide and show the menu bar

No top menu bar!
I appreciate this additional vertical real estate as well as diminished visual distraction.
