"... gelatin is made from by-products of the meat and leather industry, mainly pork skins, pork and cattle bones, or split cattle hides.... Contrary to popular belief, horns and hooves are not commonly used."
JPG uses lossy compression, and for photographic images produces much smaller files than PNG.
Taking a random digital photo as an example, I get 1.8M as a PNG-24 and 168K as a high-quality JPEG. There's some loss of quality for the JPEG, but typically not enough to care about.
I disagree even with "most." I think that both consumers and professionals buy Apple hardware because it's well-designed and, especially when you take support costs into account, a great value.
If MacOS ran on Intel hardware, it'd be just as much a nightmare to administer as Windows -- more so, since Apple doesn't have the resources Microsoft does for testing, or their influence over hardware manufacturers.
Please read that again: Dashboard requires the use of JavaScript to create Dashboard widgets. Why not use AppleScript? What part of this aren't you understanding? The fact that AppleScript Studio exists doesn't affect Apple's choice of Dashboard's scripting language.
The JavaScript part puzzles me and makes Dashboard look more like a ripoff. Why not AppleScript? Or, for some real excitement, why not an object API for AppleScript/JavaScript/Perl/Ruby/Python?
The movies are in real time, but the repositioning of the paper has been edited out of the paper airplane folding. The folding is open loop (the position of the paper is not sensed), so the accuracy is much less than what a human could achieve.
The disk and motor are housed in a rugged, removable hard plastic cartridge, leaving the disk heads and electronics - the most expensive and delicate components - in the drive section.

Gelatin is not (commonly) made from horse hooves.

And you still have a job?
Yikes, no.

Right, so why didn't they roll it into Dashboard? Using JavaScript makes it look more like they're copying Konfabulator.

Read the fantastic article:

Wow, really? Good point! It's a shame no one seems to have noticed that error, except the reviewer and the author and most everyone else:
