    Pixels no longer mean pixels, They're more of an absolute percentage of a layout. If you make something that's 72 pixels tall, on a 72 ppi screen it's 1". On an iMac it's 2/3" or about that. On an iPhone it's 1/4". Pixels are referred to as an absolute size and they aren't. You'd think 14 px font-size would be different on screens but browser-manufacturers go out of their way to make it the same.
