It's a neat demo of some very nice capabilities, but let us please not go back to the Flash era circa 2002 where designers tried to make their navigation as nauseating as possible. Or put another way, its worth remembering that just because you can incorporate all of these effects does not mean you should. Some designs can be very disorienting to some people.
Neat script though.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I didn't think of that - I actually have a Logitech mouse where I can switch between the clicking scrolling and the freewheeling.
Even then, in Windows, you can't scroll pixel by pixel can you? I'm not sure if you're familiar with Apple touchpads, but I've never seen anything emulate their ability to scroll at literally continuous increments. Even with my Logitech (that also switches) "free wheeling" still has a minimum increment. It's configurable, but it's just "jumping" relative to the Apple Trackpad mechanic.

Click and hold the center mouse button (scroll wheel). Notice the four arrows that pop up. While still holding the center button down, move the mouse up/down, and you'll scroll smoothly. I use this whenever I'm away from my mac.
There are quite a few decent parallax scripts/libs out there, but most of them rely on scrolling (like Skrollr) or cursor position tracking (github's 404 page). Am I the only one who likes to be able to page through parallax with buttons?
I have yet to receive a request for parallax. And we I do I will kindly point them in the direction of any marketing firm who knows nothing about usability or implementation.

It would be kind of a boring demo if they just showed some very subtle and barely noticeable effects. ;)
I get whole screen "blink"s on OSX 10.7 chrome 19, especially in the beginning when boxes of text are moving in an out. Just when you think one is out, it flashes in for a second and disappears. Probably an off-by-1 or something?
