That's terrifying. You should do whatever it is that makes Linux have good fonts.

It's not really fair to compare that with Retina output. But yes, lot can be done to improve Linux font rendering.

Similarly, the site is optimized by Apple for viewing on an Apple, also not fair. I don't see why I couldn't make a page on Linux render like that. And odds are very good it would look better on other OSes by default without extra effort, vs the other way around (bonus for playing the free & open game).

Also what has this to do with Retina? I always assumed Retina is just a resolution thing, right? But the screenshots are the same resolution.

Retina does effect screenshots. I use Dropshare[0] and it actually has an option[1] to downscale Retina screenshots to a 'normal' resolution

Alternatively, Apple could not use grey-on-grey color schemes.
