It's pretty neat that they used the border-radius to make the actual div perfectly round. I love it when a feature is used for something completely different than what was intended (make rounded-corners).

Wow, welcome to CSS demos of 6 years ago. http://persistent.info/files/20040508.magnifier/ This is the power of CSS3: doing the same things we've always done.

Your example uses javascript, while the retina demo does not.

True, but CSS3 enables us to do the same things without javascript.
