After 20 years of Salesforce, what Marc Benioff got right and wrong about the cloud
As we enter the twentieth year of Salesforce, there's an interesting opportunity to reflect back on the change that Marc Benioff created with the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model for enterprise software with his launch of Salesforce.com.
iOS 12 will let users register another person to their Face ID

But one of the more practical updates to Apple’s mobile operating system, coming this fall, went unmentioned during the keynote at WWDC.

For Apple, this year’s Global Accessibility Awareness Day is all about education
Following Apple’s education event in Chicago in March, I wrote about what the company’s announcements might mean for accessibility.
