Unfortunately it doesn't look very good on my laptop - mbp retina, chrome. Suggest you try some cross browser test tools - take a look at http://browsershots.org/
Very interesting and true. At the end of the day everyone is human and fundamentals of human psychology will always shine through. Personally I think the important thing is to always know what your own requirements for happiness/contentment are - if you base your own happiness on other peoples position/status you will never be happy as there are always people doing better or working less or more lucky etc!
Retina displays are suddenly the buzzword. Is it a new concept? No. Do we really need it? Debatable. Do we want it? Undeniable. Credit where its due once again to the Apple marketing machine...
