I hope nobody ever thinks this is a good idea.

Why? I thought it was interesting.

An interesting exercise, but maybe not practical, considering how slow your average home internet connection is, and how much data you're trying to stuff through that pipe. It's IMO likely that most people will end up scrolling faster than the page can load.

Not to mention, this will murder any mobile device or weaker laptops.

Cool piece of marketing, but ultimately if the goal is to deliver a cool experience to as many people as possible, this implementation may not be ideal.

Anyone care to explain how this works? It can't just be an endless array of divs, can it?

It's not just an endless array of divs because then the grid lines would constantly be shifting (that is, unless your browser happens to scroll in increments that are exactly equal to the height of one of the cells).

I might just ditch Firefox because of this webpage. A fresh session of Ffx15 goes up to 1.5 GB memory usage, pushes everything into swap and brings my whole OS to a grinding halt until I kill it. In other words this link is basically a very effective DoS. In Chromium it works fine. Am I the only one having this problem?

(Edit: I have several Ffx addons running and no Chromium addons, so the comparison was unfair. Maybe I'll just ditch some of those addons...)

save yourself the scrolly effort:

run:

  setInterval(function(){$(window).scrollTop($(window).scrollTop()+10)},10);
in your console (f12 in chrome/firebug, crtl+shift+k in firefox)

I'm running FF 15 too, but I'm not seeing what you're seeing. 700MB working set with this page open, which drops to 650 (temporarily) if I close the page and do about:memory GC and CC.

(Mind you I have 24GB of memory on this machine. I wouldn't willingly choose to run Windows 7 on any less than 4GB.)

Using the current Nightly, I go up to 1.1Gb of memory usage, and the system (an old mbp with 8gb ram) is now noticeably slowing.
