It is automatically dithered due to poor jpeg compression - not
antialiased in any way. If your screen resolution is too high or
monitor is not calibrated, then look at attached images - one is 4x
scaled without any antialising filters, the other is 4x with automatic
contrast.

That will be ugly. Even news agencies does't do columns nowadays
http://www.bbc.co.uk/ And many people still visit python.org from
Android devices and portable devices without wide screens.

P.S. Is there any web stats for pydotorg like browser/country/etc?
