Retina revolution

Apple’s Retina revolution is an interesting evolution that is turning the design world upside down. The Retina display has a high enough pixel density to prevent pixelation to be noticable to the human eye. Therefore a Retina display is a lot sharper and more pleasant to look at. Apple has doubled the amount of horizontal and vertical pixels on the iPhone, The New iPad, and now also on the new MacBookPro. The Retina revolution is irreversible, and other companies have already started or will also start implementing this new Retina technology.
Here are some good tips for dealing with Retina graphics.

At least till this thing becomes popular, it gonna be a pain in the ass. Apple is a great example to invest right in the technology. They made their platform to work well with different resolutions and resources. This also leads to different issues. The apps are packed as a single per platform (iOS Unified, iOS (iPhone), iOS (iPad)) To work with different versions of devices, the developer has to pack the high resolution images along with the same app. I have an old iPhone which has non-retina display. I have an iPhone 4S with retina display. The size of app is same for both devices. In effect, I have to spend my precious storage (which is comparatively low) for the unused resources. It's true that this is irreversible the pain has to sorted out well. Also the devices are sky-high expensive. We need to wait till it's get affordable for the common people.

Meh. Would be a lot more beneficial if I (and the 99% of the world that doesn't have the latest iGadget) didn't have to fiddle around with browser zoom to try and see the point. Doesn't help that FF doesn't make it readily apparent what my zoom level is either. (Is this 200%? 190%? 220%?)
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.
