In Soviet Russia, shelter raises you!

Yeah, or Firebird or something, kinda like Firefox it's replacing but would indicate speeds of flying, not crawling on the forest floor.

How about making Seamonkey even faster and simpler by removing everything except the browser? Then replace the bloated Firefox with that, what could go wrong?

Desktop browsers should use the memory they have available rather than swap stuff to the disk. The mobile webkit browsers are fairly light-weight, won't usually need more than tens of MB's.

What's the point of putting the most bloated browser on the lowest end devices? Seems like a dumb idea to me.

TFA compares with the 3GS, which had 300 hours standby.

It wasn't always so. They were nearly bankrupt at one stage and still managed to become one of the biggest companies ever.

False. Check your facts before posting BS.
The bundled display settings for retina modes range from 150% to 280% UI scaling. Only one, the default one uses 200% magnification.
The scaling can be disabled, which is the way I prefer to use it, which means 100% scale, which is the same as the defaults on all older macs.
In any case, 1px == 1px, except for old apps, which have no knowledge of high-res scaling modes. For those, a separate 200% virtual framebuffer is maintained, where the system translates every legacy-drawn pixel into a 2x2 pixel grid, which is then scaled to whatever scale the user has selected and finally merged with the actual framebuffer. Retina-savvyness doesn't typically require more than recompiling the app against current versions of the system frameworks.

Yes, mod parent up

Nope, I do play minecraft, however. Not much else, though.

Well, I'm writing this on my retina-macbook pro without any upscaling, 2880x1800 and perfectly readable. I've used a ViewSonic VP2290B with its 3840x2400 @ 22.2" resolution (a bit over 200ppi) for years in a similar fashion. I think upping resolution is the greatest thing ever, because I can fit so much more content on the display without wasting time on scrolling and zooming, and for reading full-screen documents, everything is as crisp, or crisper than printed media.
However, I've needed eyeglasses since 7-8 years ago. I'll probably opt for a laser eye correction surgery some time in the future. The point is, however, that if you have trouble seeing stuff, get some glasses. It's not for just monitors, but traffic safety and such, because you'll upgrade the real world from SD to HD.

Why don't you fix your eyesight instead? People with normal vision or glasses shouldn't have any issues distinguishing content on any consumer displays.

Yes, and it's a good thing for Linux that the general population has no idea it's built on Linux.

Yep, products like that are bad for Linux. They made the general population see Linux as the cheapo toy operatiing system, that doesn't really work and doesn't really have any software.
