Runs great on a run of the mill >2 year old PC w/ Windows 7 and Chrome 12. I'm sure YMMV depending upon quite a few factors, but I was actually surprised how nice and smooth it was for me.
The downside to that is that if you click through all of the images, pressing back in your browser won't take you to the previous page; instead you have to press back many times, cycling back through all the images, until you eventually are taken back to your previous page.
I didn't mean anchor; that's an implementation detail. If it were JavaScript it could just grab it from the location and no anchor anchor tag (as opposed to external link anchor tag) would be needed. I meant fragment identifier. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragment_identifier Hash tag is just quicker to say.
It would be great if somehow you could click on the cards to switch between them. Forcing people to click on the dots at the bottom == very unintuitive.
Side-scrolling would be even better. That's the mechanism that I use for normal cover flow interaction, and that's what I expected this to work with.
Of course, if you don't have an input device that makes it easy to side-scroll (like a mouse with a vertical-only wheel) this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Buttons at the side, response to right/left arrow keys, or a horizontal scroll bar would make a good backup for users without a trackpad.
Clicking on the cards would also be a welcome mechanism, but I imagine it would be used to jump to a specific card, rather than to go through one-by-one.

[ 4.6 ms ] story [ 67.2 ms ] threadGPU support is still disabled on many configurations, you can enforce it by starting Chrome with '--ignore-gpu-blacklist' option.

I think it happens when the card gets inverted horizontally.
