Apple's MBP 2880x1800 retina display and the web

Chrome vs Safari comparison on the new retina display, text is blurry: http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/12/3079887/retina-display-new...
it won't look any different from what you see websites normally... Lol.
The website itself won't, but it will be hard to read some websites.
Most websites are optimized for half of that resolution, so you will need to zoom in / increase font size to read the text, which could blur out the graphics.
They're not just going to render everything 1:1 as if it were a 30"-class screen.
This is going to work like the 'new' iPad screen and render text at high res and images at whatever dimensions are natural for the layout (uses 50% scale up be default, and then will add extra resolution if the source image is bigger than the declared or computed css dimensions)

Eventually though, I can see websites taking advantage of this new resolution, and optimizing their graphics for it ... similar to the 'new' iPad apps
Everyone's just going to do the same thing they did with the iPhone 4. You keep the raws for your photos right?
Not sure what you are talking about here. Web will look fine at that resolution, you are probably confusing pixel density with with # of pixels. My guess is most people will not maximize their browser to see the page.
Clarified the thread, I was exactly referring to that, as I personally find it annoying not being able to maximize a window.
EDIT: Clarifying the above, maximizing your browser window will be a thing of the past with such a high resolution. iPad apps are taking advantage of the new retina display with high res graphics, how do you think websites will evolve?
