The post is almost content-free, we all know apple is secretive. But that website is a work of art, although it does crawl in chrome on my current-gen mac mini. If the guy doesn't like apple, I doubt he'd have much trouble finding work elsewhere. EDIT: re-reading, I see that he has.

Perhaps he worked on his site when he worked there? I don't know, whenever I see concept work like this I think that it is an impressive hobby, but often I feel that perhaps the efforts could've been spent elsewhere, at least for the reasons you specify. I mean it has great texture, but it works like crap on my Chrome here as well.

  It performs swimmingly in Firefox.

Just to provide a counter-point, from a usability point of view I found that article terrible. On the 1920 pixels wide screen at work, more than half the horizontal width became buttons (previous and next). As soon as the mouse pointer was outside the white background for the linked-to article, a click lead to navigating away from the article. It took me at least two or three times of wondering where the fsck the article I was reading went, before I realized what was going on. Apparantly randomly clicking on what looks like (and ought to be) passive whitespace is a bad habit, on today's web.

  Who cares about the usability of this site. It's not done to be user friendly but rather to be explorable.

    I do. That site is so bad, I ignored the content and moved on.

      That is your loss for sure. It's probably one of the most interesting sites by any single person out there.

  >On the 1920 pixels wide screen at work, more than half the horizontal width became buttons (previous and next) I think my adoration may have been influenced by the fact that my monitors are in portrait orientation. And I use a trackball. I'm a sucker for contrarianism. Maybe I should start using visual studio?

    Please, a little consideration. I just finished breakfast, and it was tasty. I'd prefer to keep it down.

Agreed. His website should be cause for Serious Hiring of the creator. It is innovative, inventive, and probably 5 years ahead of its time... It crawls on my current-gen Macbook Pro (Chrome).

  Huh, really? It was pretty snappy on mine (2.4GHz i5 MBP, Ubuntu Linux).
