Not realistic. The box moves smoothly and as fast as you move the mouse. Add some random pauses and glitches ;)
I'm running on Ubuntu with a side-by-side MacOS X in a VM, and I couldn't help think "aahh...shit". Some habits die hard.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I was worried for a minute, and then I thought "wait, I'm on Ubuntu. How did IE crash?"
Same, but on Windows with Chrome. For a second there I thought the ie-view extension (for web development) had crashed, until I remembered that I don't have that extension installed here.
Upvote! I had the same moment of panic, like: "aaaahhhhh shiii...wait a second. LOL"
Is it just me or everyone likes filling whole page with this thing? I always loved doing so.

This is the culmination of HTML5 technology. It doesn't get any better than this.
Walked through and explained the code step by step: http://times.jayliew.com/2010/10/07/ie6-effect-how-it-works/
p.s. I know there's a lot of expert js hackers on HN far better than I am, this is just more for a beginner audience

In Chrome on OS X at least the cursor sometimes doesn't appear immediately when you leave the screen. Now that caused a little oh-shit moment. How did it get out of the box?
if you bounce them across the screen from the top left it's just like after you win a game in windows solitaire
just for fun i went there on my ipad and it also supports multitouch... mmm, a dozen of these suckers... so relaxing, reminds me of a simpler day...
Ahh, not so good memories. I remember trying to make some sort of picture or pattern with the windows before the screen cleared in a few seconds.
ROFL! Great job! This is something we should keep in favourites and show to our grandchildren.
My favourite HTML 5 site so far :)

Mr.doob is amazing, everything he turns out leaves me a little wow-ed
This almost makes me miss not having a composited desktop.
That's just mean.
And very, very funny.

I can have fun with this for hours. Addictive X-D
more websites should re-contextualize computer misbehavior. it briefly worked in the human domain for gg allin.
Wow, that had me worried for a second ...
performs insanely well on FF. even after doing it for like 60 seconds the performance never degrades.
I wouldn't expect it to degrade. This is using canvas - it's not creating a new copy of the image every time, but just painting that one image to the canvas.
The resource consumption is constant over time, so performance really shouldn't degrade.

Ahh, nostalgia.
That's not a IE6 effect, that's a Win 95 to Win XP effect.
Gah, that is stressful.
