I don't really get it. Aren't almost ALL apps to support Retina Display? It's only a higher-resolution thing... and apps are supposed to be able to be resized...

each icons, the skin, etc embedded in the app to appear on teh screen was of low dpi (dots per inch). Since its lower than the one on the retina macbook (220dpi) it shows pixelated.
