I expect that 'Retina Display' is trade-marked and nospam is in error
applying the term as broadly as he just has.

i'm not the one applying it broadly.

yes, apple trademarked the name, but because they were first to mass
market it, it has become somewhat of a generic term, which i explained
in another post.

THat's dangerous to Apple's abiliy to continue 'Retina Display' as a
Trade Mark.

people 'photoshop an image' even if they use other software to do it.

It's still dangerous.

it's reality.

apple, adobe, google, etc. can (and do) say not to use it generically,
but they can't force everyone to do that.

people were calling non-apple mp3 players ipods.
the list goes on...

But you, as an Apple supporter, should not help put Apple's copyright
Trademark at risk.
