We start with Plex, and its announcement of a completely redesigned version of its media-streaming app for use on Roku boxes. The app allows users to stream content locally stored on a computer or a NAS drive.
The updated version features a new tile-based design and aims to be much easier to navigate. Users can now find shortcuts to movies, music and TV shows, as well as the titles underneath all content.
For those who use Plex to stream and listen to music, artwork and track lists can now be found next to the currently playing album, something that was missing in the previous iteration.
The first build of the new app will be available to Plex Pass members as a private preview channel, before being rolled out to all Roku users.

Beam app-controlled projector
We've seen tiny projectors inside smartphones but inside a light socket is a new one on us. Beam is trying to make it a reality, with a crowdfunding project to launch an Android-powered Pico projector that can replace the bulb in any light fitting.
Users control the Beam projector using an iOS or Android app, and because the projector is running on Android you can run pretty much any app from the Google Play Store, from Netflix to YouTube. That's the theory, at least.
It's currently live on Kickstarter, where it has already achieved its funding goal of $200,000.
