Consistently crashes MobileSafari on an iPad mini with latest iOS 7, just like the Google Translate webpage.

I'm really getting tired of these MobileSafari crashes.

I'm beginning to get sick of websites hijacking the scrollbar. Is there a way to disable it? When I tried to scroll down, it kept freezing/locking up and began to flash rapidly as Safari tried to scroll down and the JavaScript forced it to scroll up. While this makes for a cool demo, please don't use this in production, it can impair user experience.

that is the user experience.

Don't forget the venerable arrow keys

I just put a rock on top of Page Down.

I wonder whether there's a market for "key weights" that fit a key exactly and are heavy enough to keep it pressed. Depending on the occasion I have used heavy implements (not exactly rocks), a variety of wedge-like tools like scissors and other things to keep a key pressed, but a dedicated tool such as a properly-shaped paperweight might have been much nicer ;)

Overall, I didn't even get to pay much attention to the actual content, all I was focused on, after a while, were those animations & how to get them moving.

If the only aim of the designer was to display the power of parallax scrolling, Kudos.

In linux you could write a script with xdotool to select the window you want and spam whatever key/sequence of keys you would like.

I liked this, but the site is likely not expecting as high volume of traffic as it is receiving, if it doesn't load for you right away (like it did for me) just wait a few minutes and try again.
