Check the camera roll on any designer’s smartphone and you’ll find hundreds of random images they snapped for inspiration or because they simply liked a color. But it’s not the best tool for the job. A dedicated color detector is far more accurate, and with Datacolor’s new ColorReader EZ, it’s no longer an obscenely…

Platforms like Facebook and YouTube have rights management tools. This basically allows content creators to claim ownership of intellectual property that is being used in other content that they did not authorize, like music or video clips. However, it seems that Facebook is now expanding on that to include photos.
According to Facebook, “Today, we are introducing Rights Manager for Images, a new version of Rights Manager that uses image matching technology to help creators and publishers protect and manage their image content at scale. […] Rights Manager will find matching content on Facebook and Instagram. Settings can be adjusted to match things like ownership that should apply worldwide or only in certain locations.”
How this works is that content creators need to upload a CSV file of their image and the metadata, which kind of acts like a “fingerprint” of sorts of the image. Based on that, the rights management tool will then attempt to monitor Facebook for instances in which the image shows up and notify the creator about it.
From there, the creator can then choose if they want to leave the image up, or they can even choose to issue a takedown of the image, or even block it from appearing in certain regions. While this sounds like a useful tool to have, some are wondering about the implications of its implementation, where it could stop people from creating memes, and more importantly how it can affect platforms like Instagram where reposting content is pretty common.

According to the rumors, Apple is apparently looking to make the move to using mini LED display panels in devices. To date, that has not happened and Apple is currently using a mix of LCD and OLEDs from product to product (like LCDs for laptops and desktops, and OLEDs for its iPhones and Apple Watch).
However, it could now happen sooner than we thought. This is according to a note from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo that was obtained by MacRumors in which Kuo suggests that Apple is looking to speed up the adoption of mini LED technology in products such as the iPad and also its MacBook laptops.
The note claims that there will be at least two suppliers of mini LED technology at the start, one of which is a company called Epistar who was previously predicted to supply Apple with the displays in 2021. Then there is also Sana Optoelectronics who is said to have experienced better than expected development of the display technology, and as such will also begin supplying Apple with the displays in 2021 instead of the previously estimated timeline of 2022.
For those who might be a bit confused by the terms, LCD is what displays have traditionally used until OLEDs became more popular. One of the advantages of OLEDs over LCD is that each of the individual pixels can be illuminated, versus LCD which requires a backlight. This is why OLED screens tend to offer richer colors and also deeper blacks.
Mini LEDs can be seen as a mixture of both technologies where it is said to achieve comparable similarities to OLED without some of the drawbacks, although in the short-term, it could end up costing more.
