Apple breaking the scroll bar themselve? Could the site instead gives a real scroll bar experience on desktop and give this "tablet-style" scrolling experience to tablets/phones only?

I can only scroll down once, to design. Guess someone forgot to test things.

Win7/FF23

Windows and Firefox - two things most "cutting-edge" web developers have long since stopped caring about.
Win8 here. Chrome, FF, and IE work beautifully with the mousewheel. Chrome/FF no scroll bar, IE has vert scrollbar.
I honestly can't tell if that comment is meant ironic or not.
Seriously?

Ok. It's quite jerky on my 4S.

Not sure what browser you are using, but Apple apparently doesn't test their site on firefox. It's not the first time I've noticed something broken on their site. Seems pretty lazy when the browser has a 20-30% market share.
Works on Firefox for me.
Not only do they take over the scrolling and usual keyboard-based navigation, they messed up Shift+Space and it works like Space.
Turn off JavaScript and you can scroll with the arrows/page keys... but yeah, annoying.
Nope, it's fucked up in both cases.
