Sorry but the driving wheel is in the opposite side.
It's on the correct side when you're in Japan. Our steering wheels are on the right, and we drive on the left, just like England.

#42For anyone wondering, that's about 135 jpgs at ~100KB on average.
Which isn't much seeing that Japanese broadband is CRAZY fast. My 100mb line costs me about $60/month. and I could upgrade to Gigabit for around 80/month.

#43Earlier 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…
Note the .jp.
As I mentioned above, our internet speeds are crazy fast. I downloaded the whole thing in about 3 seconds on my home internet, 10 on my 3g ipad.
The only issue with the ipad was that you couldn't flick and have it just scroll down.

#44Best use of my freewheel Logitech "Marathon Mouse" M705 yet.
Probably the only time I clicked the "no detent" button on my Logitech mouse as well.

#45How does it perform on touch devices? This is a great use case for just flicking thru on mobile and tablets.

#46Interesting design concept - but a horrible implementation of it.
You can't just go and load a thousand divs and not expect a wide variety of performance issues across all the different platforms.
You need to have a tile manager or something behind the scenes the same way that Google maps does, especially when targetting smaller consumer devices with limited hardware specs like tablets and phones.
* iOS5 - with an iphone 3gs (laggy to the point of being unusable)
* iOS5 - with an iphone 4 (laggy to be the point of being unusable, unless your patient). I don't have an iphone 4gs to test on, but I suspect it might be more on par with ipad 2 performance. The differences could be to do with retina display vs non retina display as well I suppose.
* iOS5 - with an iPad 1 - roughly same performance as an iphone 3gs - crappy
* iOS5 - with an iPad 2 - not too bad (but thats because of the gpu tile rendering in safari going on behind the scenes i suspect.
* Firefox 15 on a quad core i7 imac - massive ram spike, and crazy lag with the scrolling
* Chrome on a quad core i7 imac - no problem.
I'm not even going to bother trying this out in IE!
edit: Latest version of Opera has provided the poorest results yet, it keeps lagging and pausing and reloading the images after they have already been loaded (didn't check to see if it was actually downloading them again though)

#47I 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…
With today's Firefox nightly build I see a peak of 337MB with it. Image discarding has improved recently.
Re: Just Scroll
#48This is an interesting design concept indeed...
If I remember right, some apparel company used Pinterest's "revolutionary" display (Masonry right?) to a similar effect. Perhaps a HN Search is in order! :)
Memory issues apart,This is pretty cool!

I presume Safari was the same as Chrome?
