Do you really need a retina display for a desktop monitor? Aren't most users like 2 - 3 feet away from the monitor ... at which point can the human eye even see the pixels?
With the current resolution of the 27" ACD, I'm quite happy with it's current panel. A kick in the pants for audio output would be nice but even with an older Mac such as my 13" mid 2010 MBP, the ACD (MDP model for me) has a great screen resolution as it is. Those with TB Macs can run more than one which at 2650x1440 alone having a identical 27" display on it has plenty of workspace if you're running a older MBP the solution is still an awesome one.
Those with Retina MBP's really don't benefit as much but still the extra room from a TB 27" ACD are already in good shape.
TBH, even the rather dated 1280x800 panel on my MBP is still pleasing to the eye and has great color & contrast.

Great... can someone post the new iOS 7 wallpaper
pretty please.
I want iOS 7, but the iPhone 5 versions of the new wallpaper would be sweet. I'm sure someone has them online and up for grabs already.
