I tried to capture a movie of myself scrolling through the Verge Apple watch review, but failed. The graphics card on my late-model Apple laptop could literally not cope with the load.
I have just run down that page in Chrome on a i7 with four cores/eight threads and gobs of RAM. All of the threads jumped to 65-90% constantly, according to the Plasma widget on my desktop which is currently showing low single digits. If I had unplugged the charger I'd be draining the battery at the same rate as the watch timeline graphic but in real-time.
What the hell did you just send me to? If I hadn't already known this was real I would have thought I was on a parody website. A movie that advances frame-by-frame as you scroll? Seriously?
What's funny is it looked good and performed very well before I allowed the page to run scripts.
