 > Don't users expect images to get blurry when zoomed?

 Yes, in the same way they expect their blender to get stuck with a bubble
 when making a milkshake. It's the kind of expectation you break if
 possible. Just as text is re-rendered at the zoomed resolution, images
 with a hi-res src are re-rendered. All we're doing is upgrading the src
 when we detect the zoom is > 1. That's a win.

 Note that this only operates on image URLs that match the patterns in the
 script. They either exist on a known image resizing service (gravatar,
 files.wordpress.com) or they have 1x in the right place in the filename.
 Other images are left alone. So it's hard to imagine a case where this
 would be undesirable.

 > When you say the iPhone zooms to 1.5x in landscape, is that automatic?
 For example, if you went to my website would you be able to find a blurry
 Gravatar and take a screen shot of it?

 Sure.
