I trawl some of the apple rumor sites fairly regularly, leading to some interesting things. For instance, I remember reading, several years ago, about Apple supposedly working on a 50" monitor. What's interesting about that is that it's probably tied into the same rumors we're hearing, these days, about an Apple TV with a screen.
But that's not the main reason I'm writing this. The reason I'm writing this is that you'll sometimes see really stupid things going across these sites. Witness: double-retina resolution.
Ignoring system-level problems with this (reduced battery life, need for much better GPU, increased heat from that GPU, possibly need for more memory), it just doesn't make any sense to begin with. Retina resolution is already at the limit of what your eye can see. What would be gained?
