#13The simplicity of this is amazing. On top of that even if somebody figured this out I didn't expect the assortment of animations offered up in the first show off. Would have been impressed with just the shark, but the table flip made it really cool.

For those still about to try, use incognito mode.

#16Love the innovative thinking. Do you think there could realistically be any useful use-cases for this though?
I really wouldn't be able to think of any off the top of my head...

It demonstrates that you can use the address bar for animation. I imagine there might be a scenario where you'd want to try this for a progress bar or some other kind of status indicator.

That used to be what the status bar was for, until scripts started modifying it to hide link destinations (onclick= etc.) so that ability was disabled for "security reasons". Now the status bar is gone completely from most browsers by default, but onclick= can still be used to obfuscate link destinations.
Also, status bar scrollers were rather common on the "old web"; they won't be missed, and I hope address bar scrollers don't start being the next "cool thing". It's a fun demo-effect, just not something I'd like to see all the time.

#19Since there are no negative comments yet, let me be the first - I like it, but hell it really can hang up the browser...
