Alright, so I got a MacBook Pro 13" with retina display towards the end of 2013. However, some applications do not support running in High DPI (retina) mode. For example, Adobe Bridge CS6 does not support the retina display, hence the text, icons, and interfaces all look blurry and such. Since Adobe Photoshop CS6 does support retina display, I thought this shouldn't be much of an issue.
However, all this is getting very confusing! Here, I show the 100% previews of an image to the dimensions of 960 x 640 pixels. In Bridge, it recognises the "viewed-as" resolution of my screen to be 1280 x 800, which if I was using a similar 13.3" screen of the same size, my image would look exactly like that.
However, in Photoshop, the app recognises the resolution to be 2560 x 1600, hence the image looks half of what it looked like in Bridge! Essentially, in Photoshop, the working space uses 1 pixel to project 1 pixel, while in Bridge, it is using 4 pixels to represent 1 actual pixel on my image!
Unfortunately, as the retina display has been out for more than a year, I don't see anything that developers may do to fix Bridge CS6.
So much for first world problems huh?

The Food Post (with Instagram)
Well they always said that the best camera you have is the one that's always with you. Like in your pocket.
The iPhone today has become the perfect pocket camera. With different kinds of photo apps in the Apple App Store, your creativity is largely boosted.
People love taking pictures of their food, and showing off on Instagram. Simple 1-click filters are easily slapped on to enhance the look of the images.
I present to you - The Food Post.
That's the Kampung Nasi Goreng from Shangri-La Putrajaya, a regular annual hangout every March.
