Does the breaking scroll bother anyone else? Besides trying to make a statement, does the breaking scroll serve any practical purpose? For example, does it give the cube on the top/first nav window a chance to load/unload?

Also, it's especially weird that the button in the top left takes you all the way to the top, but the buttons on the top right manage the rest of the navigation.

yeah, makes the back button super fun too. Each pause seems to insert itself into history.

Why is this so slow on Firefox? Why is every single cool thing that show up on HN so slow in Firefox?

Sounds like something you might want to ask the Firefox team about.

Chrome is quickly becoming the new IE. Browser demos are now frequently written and tested for the quirks and behavior of a single browser. (and it's always Chrome)

This behavior people have been railing against for years is once again standard.

This is really cool.

Aside from the cool tech, it seems like Google is trying to build on the viral mechanisms that made 2048 so popular - they make it really easy to fork, customize, and launch your own version.

Nice idea, really.

Well... IE 11 failed in rendering this correctly like i knew it would. Yet every other day my PC nags be about updates

If you’re into JavaScript pop open the browser console on this guy: http://iamthecu.be :)

Works best in Chrome / Safari / Opera.

Cool! It seems that other than WebGL, this experiment uses only CSS3 transform. I never thought such a complicated thing can be done by CSS.

But...The faces wink a little on my firefox

WebGL "hit a snag" on like 30% of these but the 808 one was magically timed to the tempo of a song I had playing (the tap tempo didn't work, though).
