New York earthquake

A small 2.2-magnitude earthquake jolted north of Yonkers, New York on the shores of the Hudson River early Friday morning, said Randy Baldwin, a geophysicist with the US Geological Survey. Baldwin said the quake was felt in the area by hundreds of people. “It’s common,” he added.

Starbucks “Nugget Ice”

Starbucks is changing its ice cubes, and the initial reaction from customers is mixed, CNN reported. Customers who order a cold drink will now have “ice cubes” in their drinks, which are smaller than the current ones, according to the report.

Twitter vs. Microsoft

Elon Musk’s top outside attorney sent a letter to Microsoft Corp CEO Satya Nadella on Thursday saying Microsoft had accessed Twitter data for unauthorized purposes. Microsoft may have violated several provisions of its data agreement with Twitter for an “extended period of time,” Alex Spiro, Quinn Emanuel’s attorney, wrote in a letter seen by Bloomberg News.

Grooms sue drunk driver, bars

The Associated Press reports that a newlywed whose wife was killed hours after their party by a drunk driver has filed a lawsuit against the driver and several of the establishments he allegedly served. Eric Hutchinson’s wife Samantha Miller was murdered by Jimmy Lee Komorosky, who drove more than 40 miles per hour over the speed limit in a golf cart carrying the couple and had a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit.
