Ultra-High Definition Displays Coming to Macs

Screenshots of Mac OS X 10.7.3 developer builds have revealed what we already suspected: ultra-high definition Macs are coming. This Get Info window capture reveals a HIDPI (Hi-Dots-Per-Inch) mode checkbox that may come in the next update of Apple’s desktop OS.

The checkbox would open any application using the special high definition screen mode needed to support new hardware. Instead of using low resolution interface elements, Mac OS X would use assets with double the pixel resolution of the current ones. This means that, if you are using new Retina-like displays, the relative resolution will double, making everything twice as sharp while retaining the same absolute size in the screen.

This supports the rumor that a new 15″ MacBook may have a 2880 x 1800-pixel screen early next year. The option box has disappeared from the last Mac OS X developer build, version 11D36.

Like always, take all rumors with a grain of salt. Nobody knows for sure when these ultra-high definition may come. [MacRumors]

Are you ready for Apple OSX Lion?

iklash — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 05:18:00 +0000

Monday June 6th, 2011, Apple announced to release its new OSX named Lion for the mac users. The new Lion OSX have more than +250 new features of which “Full-Screen Apps”, “Multi-Touch Gestures”,”Mission Control”,”Mac App Store”,”Lunchpad”, “Resume”, “Auto Save”, “Versions”, “AirDrop”, “Mail” are some of the main features.

Everything in the new Lion OSX seems to be wonderful and very helpful to the mac users but only one thing concerns me to write this blog post. The main concern of mine as well as most of the people might be the upgrade system Apple has announced this time. The new OSX Lion will be only available in Mac App Store and will be automatically upgraded from Mac App Store only eliminating the Disc that we used to buy for upgrading Apple’s previous versions of the OSX. They have dramatically decreased the price of the new OSX from previous $129.99 to $29.99 only for Lion but how is everyone who owns a mac will updated the 4GB download keeping in mind that not every part of the world have high speed internet access to them and not all mac users have iTunes account/Mac App Store account with them, so how are they going to update their current Snow Leopard OSX to Lion? This thing concerns a lot to me.

I am lucky that I am using my brother’s credit card account for iTunes/Mac App Store to buy apps but not everyone is lucky as I am, isn’t it? So, is Apple is going to bring any alternate method for those users who doesn’t have iTunes/App Store account with them? or are they gonna stick up with the Mac App Store upgrade only?

Please leave your comment and let me know your thought on this matter
