Use CSS transitions for the hover effects

I say when it comes to enhancements like that, code for browsers of the present and future and let browsers of the past do without.

Here's some cool reading about how to do this. Having Modernizr as a dep would be lame, but if you're only detecting css animation features, you could probably do it in a line.

Yeah this does look cool. I'll take a look at it tonight. Cheers

I guess IE 9 doesn't support transitions, does it? So maybe the fallback is the way to go. I know Flexslider does the CSS animation with jQuery fallback, but not sure how it works. https://github.com/woothemes/flexslider
