It's not hard to doze off while browsing the web on your smartphone, but this careless mistake could potentially be very harmful. A little girl from England, for instance, recently woke up to a horrific sight after she had fallen asleep with her iPhone 5c in her bed.
Nine-year-old Olivia Retter sneaked her iPhone into her room one night (her mother, Karly, told the Mirror that she wasn't supposed to be doing that) and fell asleep with her glittery phone case touching her bare leg.
"She woke up in the middle of the night and came into my room and said her leg was hurting – I just thought she was being silly and sent her back to bed," Karly said. "Then in the morning I saw this awful burn on her leg – I was so shocked a phone case could do that."
When Karly took her daughter to the doctor, they had some unfortunate news for the youngster.
"Doctors have said it is a severe chemical burn and she will be scarred for life," Karly said. "I can't believe it, she will have a scar in the shape of a phone on her leg."
Apparently the clear liquid found inside the glitter-filled phone case contained acid, which had leaked out onto Retter's skin and burned her.

Problem with Apple is they make hardware that looks pretty, but if you want functionality your hardware needs lots of unsightly slots. Apple try to get round this by adding in ports which you can stick things in, problem is you can't rely on them to continue to support those ports. The headphone jack shows they are extending this policy to their consumer range. Imagine if you had just invested in a load of Blackmagic gear and Apple stopped making machines with Thunderbolt, which I suspect is about to happen. That is a little more of an issue than having your choice of headphones reduced.

As with any instance of pulling images in from third-party sources, there are bound to be a few inappropriate ones that slip through the cracks, and iOS 10’s GIF search is no different.
While Apple seemingly banned a variety of obviously NSFW terms from GIF search at the start, a handful of words with double meanings were still resulting in NSFW results. First noticed by Deadspin, Apple neglected to think of how words like “huge” could potentially return inappropriate results when pulling from third-party sources. Other words that still returned results, however, were far more obvious in their NSFW meaning, including “shlong” and “sideboob.”
Now that iOS 10 is available to the public, though, and these NSFW results have become noticed, Apple is frantically blocking any term from being searched that could potentially return an NSFW result. For instance, searching for “huge” no returns any results, while earlier it would return a plethora of images, some NSFW and some not. The more obvious terms such as “nipslip” and “futa” also now return no results.

You mention Blackmagic, and it's not just the hardware. Resolve is awesome, but to run it effectively on a Mac you realize that you need to spend 500K yen or more on a 6~8 core Mac Pro with limited connectivity. Then you realize that you can put together a kick-ass Windows based workstation that will do everything you need and more for around 200K yen. You can customize and expand that workstation as much as you like, then recycle and rebuild when the time comes. There is simply no contest at that level.
I've been an Apple user for years (since the Apple IIe, for those of you who are really, really old), but it is clear that not only is their closed-system policy locking them out of some important markets, but that it is probably too late to catch up at this point. Most pros have already moved on, and it will take a major industry revolution of some kind to get them back.
