Apple Thoughts: Attention to Detail by Apple

"Over at his blog Cult of Mac, writer Leander Kahney published a post this morning featuring full-size 512 x 512 pixel screenshots of Mac icons. As he notes, the highly detailed icons are part of a move to make the OS resolution independent, but they're also an indication of Apple's attention to detail."

These are really incredible icons, well worth checking out if you have the time. You can't really see all the details that Apple has put into their icons until you see them in the blown up version. They even put reflections in the columns for Numbers that are only visible in the larger versions. No good reason other than attention to detail.
