I want a Retina Display Mac as badly as anyone, but I'm trying to not get my hopes up too much. Apple is famous for being secretive, even amongst themselves.

I want a Retina Display Mac as badly as anyone, but I'm trying to not get my hopes up too much. Apple is famous for being secretive, even amongst themselves. They are also consistent with their design patterns in Cocoa. If/when the Retina Display comes to the iPad, it will almost certainly follow the @2x naming convention, and the Mac will almost certainly follow it as well. This could just as easily mean the design teams at Apple are simply being well-prepared for whenever a Retina Display Mac does come, even if it's years away.
