Apple Posts 27" Retina iMac-Sized OS X Mavericks Background
As part of its flurry of updates to Apple.com today, Apple's web team posted the new OS X Mavericks background image at 5120x2880. That resolution is identical to the one anticipated for a 27" Retina display for the iMac or a standalone Retina Thunderbolt Display.
The image, which was noticed by Twitter user Marvin Scharle, is similar to Retina-sized images that were included in Lion in 2011, long before Apple had released any Retina-equipped Macs publicly.
With Apple's announcement today that the new Mac Pro would include support for 4K video displays along with Thunderbolt 2, the company is clearly getting ready for larger Retina panels in the future.

Yeah, but it's still 3.3MB for an image to be broadcast over the web. Over a Fiber connection it may not be much, but for folks still stuck with DSL or Cable not by their choice (lack of options), that will suck. Also, imagine the kind of cache you will build up. I'd imagine caches of gigabytes easy, and when SSD based macs start at only 128GB, that's not something to sneeze at.
huh? its 3.3MB!
Edit: I'm guessing that was sarcasm.

This does not mean a new Retina display is coming... There are plenty of screens that already have a 5120 x 2880 resolution already.
Are there?

Update: I was wrong. In data rates 1 GB/s = 1,000,000,000 byte/s
Thunderbolt 2 = 20 Gigabits
5120 * 2880 * 60 * (24 bits) = 19.7753906 Gigabits
5120 * 2880 * 60 * (24 bits) = 21.23 Gigabits
And there's probably some other overhead...

Do you really need a retina display for a desktop monitor? Aren't most users like 2 - 3 feet away from the monitor ... at which point can the human eye even see the pixels?
People don't get it no matter how many times you'll say it. They just know "retina" but don't understand DPI and the human eye.

True that, but how do I go about patenting operating system names? I have a few that I think may be valuable in the coming years...
Half Dome (Or Yosemite, El Capitan, etc.)
Boardwalk (Santa ((Monica or Cruz)))
Redwood
Sequoia
Marijuana (Shout-out to Humbolt)
Napa
Blue Lake (for Tahoe)
And I'll throw in Fresno for good will to the central valley.
I think mavericks gives a bit of a tip of the hat to cougar, in terms of top gun. People keep saying the cougar is just a mountain lion, so maverick(s) is just better.

I want iOS 7, but the iPhone 5 versions of the new wallpaper would be sweet. I'm sure someone has them online and up for grabs already. :)
I recreated 2 out of 3 that I like. The third one was the space and stars wallpaper. It was too difficult trying to get rid of the icons and other stuff that the initial screen grab had. Will have to spend some more time adjust but here are two wallpapers to hold you down for awhile :)
