How does cat food look like PS5?
Amazon has issued an apology after customers who ordered the new PlayStation 5 video game console ended up receiving other products instead — notably cat food.
Unhappy gamers turned to social media with concerns that their orders may have been stolen — replaced with items from air fryers and rolls of tape to foot massagers.
Demand for the much-anticipated console has far outstripped supply across the UK, with all major retailers presently reporting dwindling or depleted stocks.

Sean Connery's Death Certificate Revelation
Sir Sean Connery's official cause of death has been revealed.
James Bond actor Sir Sean Connery died from pneumonia and heart failure in his sleep at the age of 90, his death certificate has revealed.
Connery's official cause of death was listed as 'respiratory failure' brought about by pneumonia, old age and atrial fibrillation - a heart condition causing an irregular and fast heart rate. Atrial fibrillation can, in turn, heighten the sufferer's risks of heart failure and strokes.
He passed away in the Bahamas at the age of 90 and the report - obtained by TMZ - states he is married and lists his occupation as 'retired actor'.

Photos: Retired Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh dies from fire injuries
Tony Hsieh, the high-profile former CEO of online shoe retailer Zappos.com, has died at the age of 46.
The businessman - who amassed a fortune of $840 million - died Friday following injuries he sustained in a house fire in Connecticut, where he was visiting friends. The blaze broke out inside a waterfront mansion in the town of New London in the early hours of November 18, according to GeekWire.
Neither Hsieh's lawyer or public relations manager have provided further details on the fire, and an official cause of death has not been announced. Hsieh, who was born in Illinois and was the son of Taiwanese immigrants, studied at Harvard University before he joined Zappos - then called ShoeSite.com - in 1999. As CEO, he helped transform the fledgling internet start-up into a billion-dollar business.
Zappos was sold to Amazon for $1.2 billion in 2009, but Hsieh remained with the company until his retirement earlier this year.
While Hsieh became known for his business acumen, it was his philanthropy and his focus on fostering a positive workplace culture for which he is now being remembered.

How to check travel ban if you are outside the UAE
If you are planning to travel to the UAE but are concerned that you may have a travel ban due to a previously unresolved court case or outstanding financial dues in the UAE, what is the best course of action to take?
For people inside the country, there are various ways in which you can check if there is a temporary travel ban put in place, by checking the status with your Emirates ID or Unified ID number. You can read our detailed guide on how to check for and lift a travel ban – while you are in the UAE – here.
However, if you are outside the UAE and need to check if a travel ban has been imposed on you, it is advisable to contact a UAE-based law firm to conduct a check on your legal status before visiting UAE. Depending on the case you have been involved in, whether it is a labour dispute, outstanding debt or violation of any immigration laws, the lawyer you hire will conduct a complete check with relevant UAE government authorities to find out whether or not you have a travel ban imposed on you. While this is not a free service, and the cost would depend on the consultation and service fees of the law firm, it is recommended to seek professional assistance for a complete check.
For the legal representative to be able to conduct the check for you, you would need to provide a power of attorney, along with the following details:
The legal representative may then check with the courts, public prosecution, police and immigration departments regarding any cases registered under your name. The benefit of hiring a professional expert is that they can also provide details of the options available to you, in case of a travel ban, and how it can be lifted.
• Copy of your valid passport
• If you have been a UAE resident, you would need to provide details of your visa number, Emirates ID as well as any expired passport if the visa had been stamped on it.
• Copy of the last exit stamp when leaving the UAE

Photos: Maradona laid to rest in Buenos Aires
Diego Maradona has been laid to rest after thousands of fans lined the streets of Buenos Aires to pay their respects as his coffin was driven to the cemetery on Thursday.
The 1986 World Cup winner was taken to the Bella Vista cemetery on the outskirts of the capital - where his parents are buried - for a private ceremony attended by family and close friends. Maradona died of a heart attack aged 60 on Wednesday just two weeks after being discharged from hospital for a bleed on his brain. Thousands of fans packed the streets around the presidential palace where Maradona lay in state on Thursday and thousands more lined the highways in the afternoon to catch a glimpse of his hearse as it rolled past surrounded by police vehicles.
Maradona's daughters Dalma, 33, and Giannina, 31, by his first wife and childhood sweetheart Claudia Villafane, were seen wiping tears from their eyes as they left for the funeral.

Photos: Pelé, Ronaldo, Messi et al pay emotional tributes to Maradona
The most heated wrangling over the title of soccer´s greatest player could be found between Diego Maradona and Pelé themselves.
So often, their squabbling would descend into acrimonious barbs and taunts launched between the finest to play the game. It was a feud in which FIFA did not want to takes sides when it came to naming the top player of the 20th century.
Following are some reactions to his death:
Pelé was the pick of experts. Maradona was the people´s choice as the winner of an online vote.
So they shared the award and continued to bicker in public.
"He thinks it´s him," Pelé once said. "But we all really know who was the best." Being born 20 years apart meant the duo never settled their rivalry on the pitch.
Interviewed once by Pelé, Maradona playfully asked the Brazilian three-time World Cup winner how he accumulated an apparent goal total of 1,281.
But behind the enmity, there was a mutual admiration that was evident through the grief as Pele paid tribute to Maradona, who died Wednesday at the age of 60.
"I have lost a dear friend, and the world has lost a legend," the 80-year-old Pelé said. "One day, I hope, we will play football together in the sky."
ARGENTINA AND BARCELONA CAPTAIN LIONEL MESSI, ON INSTAGRAM
"A very sad day for all Argentinians and for football. He has left us but he isn't going anywhere because Diego is eternal. I'll remember the lovely moments I experienced with him and I send my condolences to his family and friends. Rest in peace."
ITALIAN SOCCER CLUB NAPOLI, WHERE MARADONA PLAYED FROM 1984-1991
"Everyone is waiting for our words but what words could we possibly use for a pain such as this that we are going through? Now is the moment for tears. Then there will be the moment for words.
"We are in mourning. We feel like a boxer who has been knocked out. We are in shock. A devastating blow for both city and club. Always in our hearts. Ciao Diego."
BRAZIL FOOTBALL GREAT PELE, IN A STATEMENT TO REUTERS
"Sad news to lose a friend like that. May God give enough strength to his family. For sure, one day we will kick a ball together in heaven."
ATLETICO MADRID COACH DIEGO SIMEONE
"When I was growing up Diego was the guide on how to play football. This painful moments hurts us all, because Maradona is football, he is Argentina, he had that rebellious character which defined him everywhere he went.
"He really looked after me when we were both at Sevilla and I was very young. Diego may have gone but his spirit will remain on every football pitch."
FORMER BARCELONA TEAM MATE BERND SCHUSTER
"Maradona was a leader on the pitch, opponents dished out the ugliest of tackles to him but he never stopped asking for the ball. We didn't know how to make the most of Diego at Barcelona, at times we left him alone on the pitch."
REAL MADRID COACH ZINEDINE ZIDANE
"It's an enormous loss for the world in general but above all for football. What he did in the 1986 World Cup is engraved in my mind. We feel awful about what happened today, we are very sad."
FORMER ENGLAND STRIKER GARY LINEKER, ON TWITTER
"By some distance the best player of my generation and arguably the greatest of all time. After a blessed but troubled life, hopefully he'll finally find some comfort in the hands of God. #RipDiego"
FIFA PRESIDENT GIANNI INFANTINO, ON FIFA.COM
"Today is an unbelievably sad day. Our Diego left us. Our hearts - of all of us who loved him for how he was, and for what he represented - have stopped beating for a moment. Our silence, our tears, our pain is the only thing we are feeling deep inside us at this time.
FORMER BRAZIL STRIKER ROMARIO
"His time on earth brought a lot of happiness to his country and seduced us all. I'll never forget all the laughs we had. He was never an adversary for me."
LIVERPOOL COACH JUERGEN KLOPP
"I'm 53 years old, my entire life, he was a part of it. Diego was a sensational guy. Maradona had some struggles. I will miss both."
MANCHESTER CITY COACH PEP GUARDIOLA
"There was a banner in Argentina that said: 'No matter what you have done with your life Diego, what matters is what you have done for our lives.'
"He gave a lot of joy and he made football better. What he did for Napoli and for Argentina in 1986 was something unbelievable. On the pitch he was unique. A once in a generation."
PORTUGAL AND JUVENTUS FORWARD CRISTIANO RONALDO, ON INSTAGRAM
"Today I say goodbye to a friend and the world says goodbye to an eternal genius. One of the best of our times. An unparalleled magician. He leaves too early but leaves a legacy without limits and a void that will never be filled. Rest in peace. You will never be forgotten."
FORMER ARGENTINA PLAYER OSVALDO ARDILES
"He'll be remembered as a genius in football. You can see the extraordinary amount of interest he generates. People like Ronaldo or Messi, they couldn't even dream of having this kind of admiration." (Reporting by Richard Martin; Editing by Ed Osmond/Richard Pullin/Peter Rutherford)
