  <description><![CDATA[Impressive, however, when I manipulated the images it was slow. Even is this was available for my wallpaper, I wouldn't use it. I'll give it a +1 because it blew my mind.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[That was pretty cool.<br />Though, it was a bit slow on my 2.13 GHz computer. It needs to be faster in some way.<br /><br />Pretty cool technology. Imagine that together with multi-touch input touchscreen. :)]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[I already gave you +1. I just want to say this really is impressive. Especially the possibility of making things bigger and rottation. :D<br />But it takes a lot of time to load but then it works just fine, I'm guessing that if this was local file it wouldn't load for that amount of time.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Quite nice but ... hm ... doesn't it make you remind the possible ugly ActiveDesktop (r) wallpaper of Win98 when the desktop crashes ? ... It would be interesting but we certainly couldn't allow win98-like desktop crashes (cause this isn't only svg, but nested javascript into svg).]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Folks, this is Firefox' SVG implementation - it doesn't mean that Ubuntu's implementation has to be as slow (WebKit and Opera's implementations are actually faster).<br /><br />SVG on its own is just markup - but SVG can be combined with JavaScript and the SVG DOM (similar to the HTML DOM) to do very Flash-like things in web browsers.  It would be really cool to do stuff like this in Ubuntu (I thought KDE 4.x was already advancing towards this).]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[I'm guessing that part of the slowdown is because Firefox has to process the XML... an amazing idea, and if it's relatively easy to implement, ++1. This would be a great extra feature for higher-end systems; after all, Intrepid is supposed to be focusing on scaling performance to the system's capabilities, no?]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[It's pretty heavy on CPU -1 for that<br />looks good and innovative + 1 for that.<br /><br />does this mean we can turn the browser upside down with a drag? (text included, scaled etc.) It does it only work with pictures?<br /><br />]]></description>

  <title>Comment from BigDXLT</title>
  <description><![CDATA[^ That sort of thing is why I use KDE4 (though I admit I haven't used that particular plasmoid yet.)  However, I'm sure such a feature isn't part of Ubuntu "regular."<br /><br />The neat part to me isn't altogether the rotating and scaling, but having a couple of pictures at once.  The traditional "made for the desktop" artwork probably wouldn't work well with it, but where it would be really neat is like that example with a few photos to make a nice mosaic without having to use something more complex like gimp, et al.  Only change I'd like over that example is the ability to lock it, once I did set it, so random clicks aren't moving things around.<br /><br />++]]></description>
