A personalized video channel for Apple TV, Rheo, has now closed on $2.3 million in seed funding, the company announced this week. It has also updated its application and expanded its content lineup, thanks to a new deal with Vimeo which brings the network’s catalog of short videos, including its “Staff Picks,” short films, animations, music and more, to Rheo’s service. The funding was led by Accomplice, with participation from Pathbreaker Ventures, Social Capital, SocialStarts, and Google Maps creator Lars Rasmussen. Rheo, by way of background, was founded by notable product development veteran Alan Cannistraro, who previously spent 12 years at Apple working on apps like Remote, iBooks, and Podcasts. He also worked at Facebook building auto-play videos and Year-In-Review, among other things. Rheo’s newly joined Chief Product Officer Charles Migos, meanwhile, also worked at Apple for over a decade, where he recently created Apple News, and Microsoft, where he designed the company’s

Mobile ad startup AppLovin is in talks with a Chinese buyer for an acquisition of around $1.5 billion, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the company. We have not confirmed the identity of the acquirer. The deal is not yet finalized and details may change. Founded in 2012 by CEO Adam Foroughi along with Andrew Karam and John Kyrstynak, San Francisco-headquartered AppLovin operates a mobile ad network that helps advertisers target and deliver personalized ads to people who are similar to their existing user base. The business is profitable and saw $234 million in revenue in 2015 . We also hear that the company is projecting $500 million in ad spend on the platform this year. It’s been an acquisition-heavy period in ad tech — within the Chinese market specifically, Cheetah Mobile bought MobPartner (it’s been making other media-related acquisitions as well), while a group of Chinese Internet companies tried to buy Opera, including its ad business , before settlin

Something strange is definitely going on. Last year, the world freaked out over the discovery of a star that was dimming and flickering so erratically, it couldn't be explained by any known natural phenomenon - prompting one scientist to actually go there and suggest it could be evidence of some kind of alien megastructure. Follow-up studies have revealed no signs of alien behaviour, but NASA's Kepler Space Telescope has just spent around 1,600 days observing the star, and things have gotten a lot weirder. "We spent a long time trying to convince ourselves this wasn’t real," one of the researchers, Ben Montet from Caltetch, told Maddie Stone over at Gizmodo. "We just weren’t able to." The results of these latest observations have just gone up on pre-print site arXiv, so other members of the astronomy community can do their best to poke holes in them - which means we can't read too much into them for now. But basically what Kepler saw was KIC 84628

First, the good news: you have not been killed by a black hole. The bad news is that it’s possible the Universe is teeming with microscopic black holes that formed at the dawn of time , all of them hurtling through space like cosmic bullets. Some could weigh nearly as much as Earth’s Moon, others an asteroid, and still more somewhere in between. Whatever their weight, most would be smaller than the period in this sentence. If this sounds like science fiction, it could be. But perhaps not. Astrophysicists are running out of options to explain what most of the stuff in the Universe is made of. They know roughly 80 percent of it is dark matter, which exerts a gravitational pull on the other 20 percent - 'normal' matter - yet has remained invisible to experiments for more than 80 years . Devices in space and underground have sought out particles of dark matter for years, but have so far turned up empty . Which is why researchers are turning to the (somewhat frig
