How does this demonstrate that CSS is Turing complete? I really doubt you as much power to simulate a stopwatch as a Turing machine has.
I should have put it as "programmability", and I not only address this particular post, but the tendency in general.
I am wondering the same thing. Aside from being an impressive CSS3 demo what are the practical implications here? Will this make my site load faster compared to a js version? Will it likely be more responsive?
