Out of curiosity: why is the fact that this effect was achieved with a few simple lines of CSS3 (whether it was keyframe animations or simply a rotate transition doesn't really matter) front page news? Maybe I'm just jaded because I'm a UI engineer--but the "trick" wasn't particularly impressive (though it was quite amusing--and would have been even more so if they'd used HTML5 audio to get Slippy Toad in there).

- tomcreighton 15y agoI'm surprised by this too, but as I recall the same thing happened when a bunch of sites were discovered to have the Konami code. Leveraging nerd nostalgia = big return.
