nevere EVER take away a users ability to scroll.

Agree. The site is kind of hard to scroll. The PgDown key doesn't work at the second page. Pictures after full screen pictures with no delimitation is a real turn off.
It's even worse with this site than most like it, since it randomly switches between "scroll slightly to trigger a transition animation" and "scroll normally to go down the page", and you can never predict which it's going to be until you try and wait a few seconds for something to happen.
hahaha, funnily enough these guys are all ex-apple and I immeadiately assumed they were going for the Apple page feel. I didn't like the apple mac redesign but it is a lot more intuitive than this page, as after most of the animation you are dropped back into a normal page scroll and it is reasonably intuitive when you are scrolling vs. animating. I found it annoying but at least I could grep what was happeneing
