Interesting idea but it seem much less of a search tool than a toy. The spasmodic loading of images is incredibly distracting and the lazy layout doesn't appear to have any structure.

With Flash block for Safari, all I saw was a blank screen. Isn't HTML "good enough" for headers and footers.

Why do you need the all-directional layout? It seems that you could just do the Bing thing, which has the infinite scrolling without the flash.

They've disabled every method of scrolling except the scroll bar on the right. Several of my extensions, such as Mouse Gestures, don't work on this site.

I usually don't mind Flash, but this is why you shouldn't use Flash for your entire site.

Also, when you right click it in FF3.5 the whole page goes white.

The unspoken flash rule: its good for video players, games, luxury product sites (cars/fashion) and banner ads. Besides that, it's a usability nightmare.

It almost broke my browser (Camino)!
