Sip: Smart Color Management for Your Mac
If you work with color on the Mac, you’re probably painfully aware that the macOS Colors palette hasn’t changed in years. It offers several different types of color pickers, an eyedropper tool for sampling a color from the screen, and wells for storing color swatches.

Apple has Leapfrogged its Augmented Reality Competition with ARKit
As I've written in the past, I believe augmented reality (AR) has the potential to change our daily lives in the next ten years as thoroughly as the smart phone did over the past ten. And I'm not alone in that assessment. Some of the largest technology companies in the world are making bets in AR.
