GADGET: APPLE: Apple is ditching an update that has been killing iPads

Apple is walking back an update that has been "bricking" customers' iPads.

iOS 9.3.2 was released this week, including features like Night Shift mode and Low Power mode. But some iPad Pro users also reported that it left their devices totally unusable — displaying an "Error 56" message that can't be removed.

It can't even be solved by restoring the tablet from iTunes, a normally reliable way of fixing major errors.

"we're working on a fix for an issue impacting a small number of iPad units that are receiving an error when trying to update the software," the company said in a statement.

There's no timeframe definite timeframe given: "We'll issue an update as quickly as possible."

CHILE: MAN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE BY JUMPING IN LIONS' DEN NAKED

20-year-old Franco Luis Ferrada Roman jumped into the big cats' enclosure and stripped naked, and then walked into the centre of the cage, horrifying other visitors. The lions pounced on him straight away and started to play with him.

Zookeepers were alerted to the incident and shot the two lions so as to save his life.
Zoo director Alejandra Montalba said there was no other course of action as fast-acting tranquilisers were not available to stop the animals from attacking Roman. "The zoo has an established protocol because people's lives are very important to us," she said. A witness said: "He was screaming religious things."

According to Chilevision news channel, and also confirmed by Metropolitan Park director Mauricio Fabry, a suicide note was discovered on Roman's person, stating that the apocalypse was the reason for attempting to end his life.

Dr Sebastián Ugarte, director Clínica Indisa's intensive care unit, said that Roman's heart almost stopped and that he had "suffered several injuries and trauma to the head and the pelvic region". He is now no longer in a critical condition and should make a full recovery. It later emerged that Roman's mother had recently died from cancer.witness said: "He was screaming religious things."

Former NBA player Ethan Thomas shares story of woman who told him train seat was taken but gave it to a white man.

Former NBA basketball player Etan Thomas posted this photo along with a description of why he shot it on Friday night. According to the ex-Washington Wizard, he had politely asked the woman on the train if the empty seat next to her was taken. When she said it was, he sat elsewhere  until the man in the photo asked the same question and was given the seat. Read his post after the cut.

"Ok so I'm getting on the train and there are no open seats and I ask this lady if I could sit next to her (very politely and I soften my voice as to not frighten her) and she says someone is sitting here. So I go to the next seat. Now, less than 2 mins later a man (who happens to be white) asks if he can sit there and she says why sure let me move my stuff. So I have to say something so I ask ummmmm did you just not want ME to sit next to you ? Were you scared ? Not comfortable with a Black Man sitting next to you ? And she says lol smh don't pull the race card stuff with me I dated a Black guy in college. So the guy (who was a nice guy) said listen I'll get up and I said no need I'mma just take this pic and make a Facebook post about it. So then she says did you just take a pic of me ? Well I'm going to tell the conductor that you're over here illegally taking pics of ppl without their consent. So the conductor came up and said hey Etan Thomas love what you're doing in the community loved you with the Wizards big Cuse fan man the Knicks sure could use you .... And I said was there something you wanted to tell my man ? And she rolled her eyes smh some ppl I tell ya"
