After introducing Retina displays and graphics.. Apple has unknowingly disrupted the whole display industry. Suddenly all of us now start noticing pixels on our laptop screens as well as HDTVs, which existed since a long time now. I believe this will actually thrust the current internet into a new era of HD internet and soon computer makers and tv makers will jump onto making high pixel density displays. This makes sense. Till now, all was about resolutions and the larger the resolution the smaller the icon, window etc in the OS world. Apple's retina implementation has changed that. You still see things in the same size or aspect ratio but the sharpness is 4 times that of what we used to see earlier, making the whole data consumption experience to be overwhelming.. Kudos to Apple for this. I hope most of the internet 2.0 and display manufacturers are thinking alike on this..
