Problem is, the retina Macbooks aren't really 2880x1800 in practical 
use.  A 1" by 1" image on a standard 15" (1440x900) screen would be 1/2" 
by 1/2" on the retina Macbook, except that it scales the image up to 1" 
by 1".  The results range from ugly to atrocious.

The exceptions are Apple's own applications which are "optimized" for 
the retina display.  "Optimized" means "scaling is overridden by the 
application".  Only Apple's own first party applications are so optimized.

If you really want pixels then wait for the IGZO notebooks to start 
rolling off the lines.
