While the technology is impressive, I couldn't get over the fact that I can't leave this page using my back button without trying to outpace the browser. Why do they even direct you somewhere else?

My biggest takeaway from the article is that HP has a bunch of jerks building their marketing pages. I had to close the tab and navigate back to this entry from the front page just to complain about it.

Edit: Thank you for changing the link to a page without the redirect glitch!

Click-hold the back button, until the history list drops down, then move past the half-dozen HP entries to get back to HN.

Trying to decide if this is deliberate or a bug where each page load does some kind of reload(s) of itself.

I visited the website on mobile. Not much I could do as Chrome doesn't provide a software back functionality besides the system back button.
