Sample .mac web gallery

I am sure we can learn/Copy lots of stuff out of this.
Some initial thoughts,
1. I notice they are not calling events every time the scrollbar is moved rather they resize the image after every n sec on the basis of the current scroller size. This way they do not make script heavy. I like the idea.
2. No Flash
3. I really found the mosaic view useful.
4. I love the way they had implemented the album viewing with changing pictures with little scrollbar movements. Love that. I had never seen that before in a web application.
5. Either you do a right click or left on an image, it brings the image to full size.
6. Overlay to write comments on the image. Also notice the shadow created by overlay itself

am very excited to open this on iPhone Safari browser and see the result. I am sure it will run on it.

Also if you noticed they are using scriptaculus and prototype.js

Hardeep: I am sure this will be a very good benchmark to our RIG. What do you think?
