Apple Working on Retina Display for Macbook Pro

Apple sure knows how to surprise us when it comes to display advancements, be it its retina display on iPhone products, 2560 x 1440 pixels in 27-inch monitors (Apple was first to market with that density), or talk of 2048 x 1536 pixels native resolution with the next generation iPad. This latest news is bound to shock and awe. Apparently, Apple is working with upstream suppliers to develop a retina display for its Macbook Pro products. As early as in Q2 2012, Apple will launch a new Macbook Pro with 2880 x 1800 pixels (that's more pixels than even the costliest of today's 30-inch displays can manage). More importantly, it's a return to the 16:10 aspect ratio. It will achieve this without upscaling display dimensions. Meanwhile, Apple's PC competitors ASUS and Acer plan 1920 x 1080 display notebooks around that time.

Mega-JapanMacs aside, I just hate Apple for all the money they had me waste on their shitty iPods back in the days that I ended up throwing away after a year or so because they would stop working. Their earphones were worse than those I would find in a 99 cent store. And iTunes is one piece of garbage I will never use again.

I bought a Zune HD in 2009, and by no means I am a Microsoft fan (I hate them for other reasons too), but holy crap the Zune software >>>>>>>>>>> iTunes any day of the year. It's getting old now though, and it's sad that microsoft discontinued them.
I have the exact opposite opinion of you. I found the Zune software to be utterly garbage. To each their own I suppose tho.

qubitAnd how long will that last without Jobs? I do wonder.
It was to happening when jobs was still with them in in 1984/5, he failed in NeXT Computer until it went software based.

He made a few good moves after , pixar being the best but the success of apple was jobs "seeing" something in Steve Wozniak (who he used) and Jonathan Ive.

I only really know of his successes I would love to find out how much he squandered in bad investments.

pr0n InspectorSo you think it's completely normal for a grown up to just walk into a store he doesn't like and start taunting customers? And only a Macintosh fanboy would find this immature and retarded? Are you 13 years old? Do you think Jackass is cool?
To be honest, Apple is such a ridiculous company overall, that almost anyone willing to buy their products deserves to be ridiculed. And no, Jackass is lame, Dudesons own Jackass. ;)

Yes, I'd like to know too. Love him or hate him, he was pretty clever and a very shrewed businessman, but everyone makes blunders. However, due to his popularity and image, I'll bet those mistakes get airbrushed out of history...

Couldn't have said it better myself, if I had £100 and made 100 investments with 90 of those losing my money and 10 of those making me £100 each that would count as success.
When in reality I was only 10% right.

That's a great example. It helps explain why people can make one mistake after another in business and still come out on top.

pr0n InspectorSounded like something a 13-yo would do.
Oh really? A guy walked out of the store having spent $3K on a Mac Pro and an iPad...
(Though this was priced before the Thai floods)
