Nary a mention, except some really obvious photoshopping of Apple's iconic advertising:

You honestly think Apple doesn't already know and with their wealth and legal staff bigger than Microsoft's that they won't send them a shot over the bow?

More screen real estate is always welcome.
90% of that 90% is most likely locked-in, and the remaining 10% actively chose Microsoft because Apple gave up on business long ago and perhaps the freebie Linux looked unprofessional to them at the time... My guesstimate, of course.
And the evil cycle perpetuates itself because of inter-operability issues. To this day, there's still lots of companies providing web services which require Internet Explorer/Active X etc, you should see there faces when you tell them there is people in this world who do not run Windows. It's like telling them about methane-breathing animals.
This will be absolutely fantastic for gaming.
Not only will this encourage NVidia and AMD to produce even more powerful GPUs but this will simply make games look brilliant. I've compared the 160 PPI of my iPhone 3GS to the 326 PPI of the iTouch 4 with Infinity Blade and the difference is amazing.

I bet Microsoft _will_ call it Retina Display and then claim that it's a generic term, just like they are trying to do with AppStore.
Microsoft aren't doing anything...
ATI + Nvidia will support the high res screens... (which they actually already do..)
And company like LG Samsung.. Etc make the panels for all the other companies (Inc apple) lol silly them.

its a stupid term that only a company as arrogant as apple could brainwash people by redefining an already known term; high res. great marketing, sure, but that doesn't make the term 'retina display' sound any less ridiculous. apple's ego since the ipod has gone through the roof, and so has its fanbase.
I wish apple would go back to making great computers rather than going apewild on stupid toys like the ipad.
Welcome to marketing in Technology, which, is all about buzzwords. I am not sure how Apple is any different than their competition in this regard, unless ones sole purpose in life is to hate Apple.
No, we want a headless iMac. The processors inside them are fine, the video cards are not. Apple does this strategically to gouge its customers. When PC users make the comparison that a similar performing desktop can be built for a third of the price, its because its true. The Xeon processors are great, but not totally necessary, I would know because I have a mac pro with TWO ati 3870 in crossfire mode via windows, and one with a modded heatsink to lower temps and noise. I'm not an ignorant noob.
the problem is within apple:
a) don't give customers too much choice
b) whe choice is given, make it very limited
apple has NEVER been about choice, its a term/word that doest exist in the company. and if you think that I did have choice by getting the 3870s, those were too little too late as other superior options always exist on the pc side for literally half the price.
if this isnt something that pisses you off about it, because it should, you really need to see thing objectively.
How dare you? Apple is the only arrogant company in the industry

It's gonna come in handy now that Windows supports antialiasing of text
yes, my sole purpose in life is to hate apple.
why is it that anytime someone criticizes apple, especially here its always seen as hating rather trying to push apple to do things right which, much to your disbelief, would mean better products for you.
imagine that, someone wanting apple to make better products... who would have thought??

read your second response. now read your comment about apples arrogance.
pot, kettle.
Monitor manufacturers get to profit from selling the higher res displays
GPU manufacturerers get to profit from selling the higher spec GPUs
Computer manufacturers get to sell new models, barely quicker for every day tasks than their current line up by making their newest displays only work with their newest systems
Overall, a big win for everyone apart from the average user who'd be fine with the DPI of their current display for every day tasks and the saving it has over potentially very expensive "Because they can make it" technology.
Really got my cynical head on today
When are these going to be commercially viable though and rolled out on every laptop as standard? 5 years maybe? I mean it's pretty cool but i don't see that's absolutely necessary yet, guess it's good for security though

I didn't say you specifically, you are free to infer whatever you like from my post.
Regardless, Exactly how is your comment pushing apple to excel?
Again,
Sounds more like a rambling diatribe, than it does constructive criticism.

And how is exactly stating a fact, being arrogant?
Now, read your register date...
It must be a slow week at the Android forums.
care to elaborate what my register date has to do with anything or the assumption that I'm a fanboy of android?
please be relevant, thank you.

I get a lot of flack when I call out apple on certain things. but yeah, I did go of course a bit.
But we aren't talking about more screen real estate here are we? Just more detailed images in the same real estate (unless you are just going to use extremely tiny text and UI elements).
Im scared to even think what games will look like in 10 years time. It will be mind blowing.
