USA: A wanted fugitive didn't like his mugshot so he sent a 'better' photo to the police. "They did me wrong" he said


A man wanted by Ohio police sent authorities a selfie because he was unhappy with the mugshot being circulated on his arrest warant. Donald Pugh says the unflattering mugshot made him look "like I was a Thundercat"
Donald "Chip" Pugh was wanted for a failure to appear in several cases including arson and vandalism, according to Lima Police Department. In a post on its Facebook page, Lima Police urged people to contact them if they spotted Pugh - along with an 'unflattering' mugshot of the 45-year-old
Pugh then sent an image of himself sitting in a car wearing sunglasses, with the comment:
"Here is a better photo that one is terrible."
The fugitive even carried out an interview with Ohio radio station The Eagle, in which he claimed Lima Police "just did me wrong".
Apple Reportedly Building a Tool to Ease the Move From iOS to Android
Apple already has a tool that makes it easier to move to iOS, but it may someday have one to help you leave it too. At least that’s according to a report from The Telegraph, which suggests that pressure from European carriers may force Apple to develop a “simple tool” to ease the switch.
The newspaper reports that carriers are “concerned that only a tiny fraction of customers ever move off the iPhone, in part because of the technical hassle of transferring data.” Citing a senior industry source, it adds that Apple has “privately agreed” to develop what it calls a “simple tool” to help move data— contacts, messages, photos and the like—from their iPhone to an Android handset.
If he rumor’s true, it would be somewhat of a departure for Apple. Its walled garden is particularly well designed to make it hard to escape the clutches of iOS and while it’s happy to ease the process of arrival, it’s never actively helped anyone to leave. The weight of an entire continent’s carriers might be enough to twist its arm—but that still feels like a big ‘might.’
HOLLYWOOD:Iconic Playboy Mansion is going on sale for $200 million
The iconic Los Angeles mansion of Hugh Hefner, the founder of the Playboy empire, is being put up for sale for $200 million, Playboy Enterprises said, one of the highest asking prices for a private residence in the United States.
The Gothic Tudor-style mansion, which has an area of nearly 20,000 square feet (1,858 square meters) and boasts 29 rooms, sits amid five acres in Holmby Hills west of the city.
In addition to amenities such as a tennis court and a free-form swimming pool, the estate is home to the infamous Playboy grotto, which over the years served as the setting for some of Hefner's most lavish, hedonistic parties.
The mansion, in which Hefner still lives, also has a zoo license, the company said in a statement announcing the sale.
"The Playboy Mansion has been a creative center for Hef as his residence and workplace for the past 40 years, as it will continue to be if the property is sold," the statement added.
