When Apple invents and touts their "Retina" displays: that's bullshit, I can see up to 9000 dpi. Don't waste your money

When google does exactly the same a year later, on a machine using experimental software and full of limitations, it's excellent :)

My apologies for getting meta here, but: you sure are extrapolating a lot from what I said. :) 3 comment responses in a quick while, all drawing comparisons with Apple on the point I raised.

I like that Apple made a high-res. device. I now like that Google is also releasing a high-res device. The excited defense of Apple, despite my having not really attacked Apple in the first place makes it seem like there's some sort of victim mentality going on with Apple fans.

With all due respect, now you seem to be extrapolating too ;).

Not extrapolating at all, just commenting on the way things are perceived. You specifically praised the marketing, not the product, which was a main point of criticism back when the Retina MBPs were released. Google was clever to avoid numbers :)
