Spotlight revealed a picture of me from 1994 lurking in a forgotten corner of my hard disk:

Finding old pictures of yourself: just another reason to hate Spotlight.

It looks like a picture from the seventies! LOL

What's funny is I look older in that photo than I do ten years later! There's a painting in my attic that's getting older...

You may have noticed -- it's a GIF! I used to think GIF was better than JPEG, since it at least preserved the details.

Can we have a caption contest? Here's my unsolicited entry:
"Thank you darling, I'd almost run out of Courvoisier."

It's the kind of photograph that's often associated with the terms "bon vivant" and "international playboy".

That is badass.

You know it's true that gif is technically lossless, but it only saves a 256 color pallette (maximum)...so for photos...it discards plenty of colors, and makes the filesize pretty big. That's a 30k gif and you could probably get a 20k jpeg to look way better. The highest quality jpeg's have almost no loss...but you just wouldn't want to save something as a jpeg multiple times, whereas a gif you could.

In any case, if you want true lossless compression, and it has to be more than 256 colors, then use a PNG, which shows up in all "modern" browsers.
