Presumably most of the same stuff except for that caused by the suddenness. So no instant death, giant storms, or wind bomb. The oceans would still go to the poles, although slower (depending on the speed of the slowdown would determine if it was fast enough to cause giant waves). The slowing of the core spin would…

I had to LOL at this- we KNOW how useful widgets are because Android has had them for years, and they've evolved so well that they make iOS look primitive today. I'm all for Apple innovation (nobody can make things look sexy like them), but I hope they don't finally add widgets to iOS and say "LOOK WHAT WE INVENTED!"
