Presumed future risk
Sending email/text messages from Matlab
Sending emails and SMS (text) messages from Matlab is easy, once you know a few quirks.
Afterthoughts on implicit expansion
The new implicit expansion feature of Matlab R2016b can break user code in unexpected ways.
Speeding up Matlab-JDBC SQL queries
Fetching SQL ResultSet data from JDBC into Matlab can be made significantly faster.

Matlab uses logical (scaled) pixel positions. With high-DPI displays, this might cause problems, but it is easy to retrieve the physical (unscaled) pixel values.
uigetfile/uiputfile customizations
A file-selector dialog window that includes an integrated preview panel is shown and explained.
Icon images & text in Matlab uicontrols
HTML can be used to add image icons to Matlab listbox and popup (drop-down) controls.
Aligning uicontrol contents
Matlab uicontrols can often be customized using plain HTML/CSS, without need for advanced Java.
Customizing uifigures part 2
Matlab's new web-based uifigures can be customized using custom CSS and Javascript code.
