I'm impressed by how much CPU this website is able to use. It pegged all 8 cores at 100% while I had the website open on firefox/win7
Wandering on the site, CPU goes back to normal after some time, but I couldn't find what the problem is with simple inspection (JS profiling says 99% idle).
Bug reproduced on Chrome.
Safari, which uses mp4 instead of webm, works fine :-)
I wonder what 53 will make of Facebook's choice of App name? http://www.fiftythree.com/paper
Although I'm not particularly familiar with the latest in US trademark laws, in most European trademark cases it can be argued that the name "Paper" is too descriptive to be defended. At the same time the fact that both are in the general category of "apps for the curation and creation of content", the confusion in the market is definitely going to be there. Curious to see how this is going to turn out...
Just did a quick USPTO search and it looks like 53 hasn't attempted to register a trademark for "Paper" itself – but they have registered "Paper by FiftyThree", which would more easily pass the bar of distinctiveness: http://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=85622666&caseType=SERIAL_N...
Having said that – I do wish Facebook had picked a name that wasn't already associated with such a well-known app.
Disclaimer: I have a dev friend who works at FiftyThree but their IP strategy is not something we've discussed.

It feels as if this has been here forever.
The video was choppy and froze part way through. Seems to happen to me a lot with these types of websites. On different computers, even.
I tried three different browsers. Opera was very laggy, Chrome just showed one frame and Firefox was moderately laggy. Resizing the tab helped a bit. Audio was choppy as well. My HW specs are far from low (though it is not a gaming machine either). I couldn't pause the video, fast forward it or even see any indicator of progress. I didn't even expect volume settings. Considering all this, the page is simply horrible.…

All tech companies/startups are starting to look the same. Maybe the same marketing/ad company has a contract with the entire valley? Edit: Changed "Silicon Valley" to tech...since this common feel is more about the latest trends, than geographical boundaries. Though the joke no longer makes sense.
> All tech companies/startups are starting to look the same. I think it's more that they are just starting to advertise the same way that all other companies do. More and more they're evoking emotional responses from the ads' viewers, rather than listing technical features and productivity measures. Apple was probably one of the first, really. Look at the early Macintosh ads: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCL1c8JCe…
Queue up someone commenting that their feed doesn't look anything like the polish of a feed in a Facebook ad. :)
Man, that video, typical marketing bullshit. First scene shows a guy writing on a typewriter, next scene shows someone hanging up Polaroid pictures. Seriously? Show me why this app is useful and why I need it, instead of trying to lull me into a world that doesn't exist.
