If there isnt already a website that lets you just upload a large image and then creates all the different sizes for you and provides the code to paste in for you then there needs to be. If it doesnt exist and people here are interested, i'll make it this weekend.

#34Yet another article written from a mac-only user point of view. Most desktop monitors are still around 100 dpi, far from "retina" standards.

As if "the retina age" were an actual thing. How many people have them now?
You don't think screen resolutions will continue to increase? I give it a couple of years, maybe less, before the "retina" resolution is standard hardware.
Re: Favicons in the retina age
#36Using SVG for favicons would be a much better approach. Otherwise we would just end up in a few years, where we are now. But SVGs are scalable and look as good when rendered as 16x16, as 64x64 as 1024x1024. Of course that won't work for photos and stuff, but you can pretty easily turn most favicons into a scalable vector graphic.
The Tango Icon Theme Guidelines state this explicitly: http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Theme_Guidelines\

#37And the great thing about it, of course, is every browser supports it. Even the Nintendo DS.

I don't want to think what beastly GPU I will have to buy to run next crisis on native resolution on ~150 dpi 21" monitor.
