Aggregation Report - Evening Edition 5/3/2016

Happy Tuesday Night, this is you evening aggregation.


You're Fired

The big news of the day is the Indiana primary and although Donald Trump is expected to win, Ted Cruz spoke his mind about what he really feels about his competition.  Cruz said that Trump was "immoral" and a "pathological liar".  It's unlikely that Cruz's true feelings will have much of an impact on the voting today.

No Silver Medal

Today Sheldon Silver, former speaker of the NYS Assembly, was sentenced to 12 years in prison.  Mr. Silver was convicted of pleading guilty to corruption charges.

Radiogram

Radiohead released a new song directly to Instagram today, "Burn the Witch.".  The band had previously deleted all of their social media posts before releasing the song directly to the video and photo sharing site.

Burger Time

Spotify's new iOS update will no longer feature the nefarious hamburger menu button.  The hamburger menu button has long been lambasted by designers as a "junk drawer" and a poor user experience, but until fairly recently that hadn't stopped most mobile sites and apps featuring just such a button.


Your Morning Aggregation Report - 5/3/2016

Good Morning, you're looking for some aggregated news and we have it.  Sit back, relax and click away here's your Aggreation Report:

Three Little Planets

Researchers have discovered three planets that they believe are Earth-like in that they could possibly support life.  These planets orbit a smaller, dimmer, and cooler star and two of them appear to be tidally locked with their star.  Of interest, these planets are close enough to study closely, but still so far away that there is no hope for an expedition there.

OKC You in OKC

The Oklahoma City Thunder evened up their series with the San Antonio Spurs despite some questionable refereeing in the closing seconds of the game.  Dion Waiters, of the Thunder, appeared to push Manu Ginobli of the Spurs while Waiters was attempting to in-bounds the ball.  Of less discussion is how the Spurs still ended up with the ball and a 3 on 1 situation, but still couldn't close out the game.  The series now moves to OKC.

Who Knows Nothing Now?

Jon Snow may know nothing, but Kit Harrington knows how to apologize to his fans.  On Sunday, Harrington issued an apology for lying to his fans and saying for 10 months that Jon Snow was dead.  Vox.com offers a thorough breakdown of what happened in the Game of Thrones this past Sunday.

Another Day, Another Primary

Donald Trump looks to pick up another victory in the Indiana primary today.  Some people have called this the last stand of the #nevertrump movement and others have said this is the first time the a primary in Indiana has ever meant anything.  ABC News has a few things to watch for here.
