The article on TechRadar discusses the 25th anniversary of macOS's Dock, detailing its origin and evolution. It highlights how the Dock was initially a part of a secretive project called "Puck" at Apple, spearheaded by a developer named Chris Espinosa.

The Dock's design was influenced by NeXTSTEP's interface, and it has since become a defining feature of macOS, known for its glossy icons and the ability to quickly access applications and documents. Over the years, the Dock has seen numerous updates, adapting to new technologies and user interface trends, yet it retains its core functionality and aesthetic, underscoring its enduring appeal and utility in the macOS ecosystem.
