- Kepler 37c is just slightly smaller than venus
- kepler 37d is twice the sign of the earth.

- Nielsen also wants to track iPads and other mobile devices
- No word on usage on computers
- changes will begin for 2013-14 TV season this fall
- Could make sci-fi more viable, could also lead to shows that are viewable by browser only viewable on set-top devices
