It is a shame they couldn't have sighted it in GIF. Then we would have been able to see it walk around and stuff!

No losses though. Better image than JPEG

Only for straight clean lines like digital graphics. Not for gradients like natural photography, JPG is still superior there.

Jpeg is still old as hell. It needs to die! They have come out with numerous replacements for it but none of them seem to catch on... It seems that with all digital consumer technology, you better get it right the first time because nobody will give a shit after (only hope is somebody like apple Google etc start using).

WebP seems to be catching on. The image in the article is actually a WebP (and the file is hilariously named .jpg.webp)
