We do it so that when people zoom in on the site (using `⌘ + +` on a Mac) the image doesn't become pixelated and ugly.

We do it with most other images, too.

Well this way it's pixelated and ugly by default. I don't think that's better.

What browser/OS are you in? It looks pretty reasonable in Chrome on OSX; we spent a decent amount of time trying to get it as close as we could. Some browsers do weird math on resizing.

Win7, FF11 (current). You're right, it looks better in Chrome.
