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)

Or you can click one of the links at the top to auto-scroll to a section.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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 m…

The goal is to deliver a cool experience first, and then reach many people second.

If the experience isn't cool, then it's not going to reach many people. I figured people would talk about usability despite the fact that it's a marketing page.

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).

They were constantly shifting to me. I was able to get it so that they were barely shifting, but the best I could do made it look like the images were ever so gradually drifting upwards due to a slight mismatch.

interesting for me that's really jumpy, it looks like each frame is 120px high? so something like this is much smoother at the beginning for me:

    var step = function() { $("#container").css({top: (parseInt($("#container").css("top"))-115)+'px'}); window.webkitRequestAnimationFrame(step); }; step();

 but in the middle where it zooms into the people in the car, it get's out of sync...

nope, the hacker in me likes the javascript better.

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. May…

Saw memory spikes while scrolling, but didn't notice any performance problem (FF 14 x86_64, 4gb ram, gentoo linux)

I don't think there is anything special about this "video" ad that lends itself to scrolling. You can take any video (infographic, music video, advertisement) and conceptually scroll through it using a mouse, but what does that gain you?

If you could interact with the elements and there was more than 1 dimension of scroll.. then that'd be going beyond.

I killed Firefox after 5 minutes of heavy io. In Chrome it just runs fine. (Macbook from 2007, 1GB RAM, FF15)
