Tech News Today 1539: Cash for Clans

Twitter's new app Engage seems to be doing more to enrage people than engage them. At Vidcon, Twitter also announced that your videos on Twitter and Vine can now be 140 seconds long. Helsinki-based Supercell, the mobile gaming outfit responsible for Clash of Clans and Boom Beach among many others, just sold an 84.3% stake of the company to China's Tencent Holdings Ltd for $8.6 billion dollars (Tencent's largest acquisition to date). We also talk to Michael Coren from Quartz about what the price of LEDs has to do with indoor farming, and whether or not health apps are silicon snake oil.
