Chrome Experiments - Arcade Fire
Check out the above. Freaking cool stuff. HTML 5 music video.
Just type in your address and you neighborhood gets loaded into the music video.
I'm using Chrome and it uses 100% of CPU.
Opens up lots of windows, so be forewarn.

Just did the first bit with the guy in the hoodie running around, windows popped up of the birds flying around and google map and streetview images of the place I said I lived. Nice job.
PS. I did this in Safari and it still worked.

It'll be much easier if you just comply.

How appropriate, for a Flash replacement.

Well, that was lame. I live in an area surrounded by wood sand trees. It completely missed showing my house.
Fail.

Cool tech demo. But yeah, 100% cpu usage and stuttering on an 8-core macpro. I'm sure Gruber creamed his apple branded thong.

Runs like butter on Safari 5.0.1 on my new 27" iMac. But then again, so does full res Mafia 2 so I shouldn't really be surprised

Anyone else not terribly impressed by it? Ooo they overlaid google maps with some basic video of silhouetted birds? It felt more like a tech demo than a music video.

Yeah, it's almost as if it was some kind experiment.

Ran just fine on my 13" MacBook from 2 years ago. Maybe it just needs tons of RAM? (I have 4GB.)

Ran ok here, Quad-Intel. Kind of nifty. Also disappointed that the part of the street they chose in googlemap was really boring just trees.

You guys are jaded...
This is an HTML5 demo, not just eye candy or an attempt to make a cool video. You can read about all of the HTML5 specific stuff this demo incorporates: Chrome Experiments - Arcade Fire . The design choices that were made were made to feature the above new capabilities, not to make this a great music video. Some of these capabilities are interesting or exciting, this demo does a good job showcasing this, which is the point of it.
As far as the CPU usage goes, I think some of you need to learn how to analyze CPU usage numbers - 100% usage is not necessarily a bad thing. The stuttering I can't account for though, although with the Google Maps parts of the video I would think that part of that blame rests on the Google Maps engine.
