WebKit Limit on Retina JPG Image Display - Duncan Davidson
10 weeks ago by sunpig
While doing some homework this evening on how to best display Retina-resolution photographs on the new iPad for future updates to both this and the Luma Labs sites, I ran into a frustrating problem. Relatively small high-resolution images—such as John Gruber’s Daring Fireball logo—work great. But 2000-pixel wide photographs failed miserably and ended up looking worse than the 1000-pixel wide images they were replacing in my test pages. Much worse, in fact.

"Do you honestly think that the PhDs at Google, Amazon, Twitter, Digg, and Facebook created Cassandra, BigTable, Dynamo, etc. when they could have just used a RDBMS instead?" Well, yes. That's what PhDs do.
