The saying goes that love is stronger than hate, but a new dating app is flipping that idea upside down. Hater is a new app that matches users based on the things they mutually dislike.
Brendan Alper, Founder and CEO of Hater, explains how the app app works. He says even if you don't meet a special someone, it's fun to use. Alper says they already have 800,000 users since launching on Valentine's Day this year.
Alper also shares what it was like to land a $200,000 investment from billionaire Mark Cuban on ABC's "Shark Tank." The company plans to use the investment to expand, especially in New York City. Alper says Cuban is so into the company that he even created his own account, just for fun.

Skype users are scrambling to find an alternative after Microsoft shut down the pioneering internet phone service which let people make cheap long distance calls and chat with other users. Google Voice lets users make calls from a smartphone or a desktop web browser but it's only available to people in the U.S. Viber users can call phone numbers but can't get a number to receive calls. Zoom offers phone options too. You could get a number from a low cost virtual carrier or try other internet phone services. Microsoft says some Skype features will migrate to Teams, but its Teams Phone feature is only for businesses.
Amid a backdrop of ongoing tariff uncertainty, more and more gamers are facing price hikes. Microsoft raised recommended retailer pricing for its Xbox consoles and controllers around the world this week. Its Xbox Series S, for example, now starts at $379.99 in the U.S. — up $80 from the $299.99 price tag that debuted in 2020. And its more powerful Xbox Series X will be $599.99 going forward, a $100 jump from its previous $499.99 listing. The tech giant didn’t mention tariffs specifically, but cited wider “market conditions and the rising cost of development.” Beyond the U.S., Microsoft also laid out Xbox price adjustments for Europe, the U.K. and Australia. The company said all other countries would also receive updates locally.
