Wow. For an article with that topic, that sure was painful to read on an iPad. Since a bunch of content entered the page on scroll (and iPad pauses DOM changes while scrolling), I had to constantly scroll small amounts to make sure I wasn't missing anything.
What I find the most ironic is that such new and hip technology (neat javascript tricks) is used to imitate the lamest and most boring forms of presentation (powerpoint) ever.
What I find the most sad is that someone will think this is a really good presentation technique and start using it, while clients will not know what hit them.
This is a really good example of all that can go wrong when HCI is done this way.

It was painful in a desktop browser too.
It's ironic really that such terrible layout was born from a document detailing optimal layout concepts
