In the last week or few days I noticed the ticker has changed from a pause over mouse scrolling ticker to a instant page change that will not pause.
I much prefer the scrolling effect it gives me more time to cue on and tag a article of interest by the tiem I see it and get to it I have to wait until it comes back.

Adding this for others to take note of
Seems IE and FF throttle the CPU when the ticker scrolls, FF did it 3 or so times as bad so the non stopping fade ticker is here to stay for awhile.
