Plex, well known as a service for streaming movies, music, and TV shows from your own computer, is now adding another thing you can stream: video games (via Protocol). Plex announced the new service, called Plex Arcade, on its blog and also launched a website for it.

Generally, players download a video game from the YouTube app, sideload it onto their Apple TV, and open it up in Plex — which streams the 1,000+ titles currently available — there's a lot of momentum for this so far, and it's supported on most modern versions of iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.

For example, you can add a new GTA game to your connection and play it in Plex with no problems. The catch is that you need to then have the API active for each game you unlock — which is a one-time cost to Windows devices, Windows Phone, and which sort of sucks — but Plex Arcade also allows you to manually add or remove your own games from the so-called Arcade tab of each app that supports it.

Plex Arcade is currently in public beta, wherever you automatically get Plex. (Using the dashboard on: www.plex.tv/arcade)

Plex Arcade will also display on your home screen any category of games: near by favorites, titles you've unlocked, your privacy settings, or public outcry about the latest dubious video game gore until you amass your own vault of ROM titles. (Mentions that some games are about nude women will also freak you out).

Plex Arcade will also display how often you've unlocked new games, wallpapers, and community data streams of this sort just like the other feature pages you'd see on your newer Plex activity streams.

The service is now available. You can have your say in this service on Plex.tv's Plex Arcade forum, and see a breakdown of the launch on ProgrammableWeb. (If you post it saying you ordered soda, a recording sales rep assumes you were talking about YouTube.)

The number of Muslims in the world fell to about 1.8 billion in 2014, half the total number before World War Two.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) said 56% of the world's Muslims lived in six countries - Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Nigeria, Somalia and Syria.

The CIA said the Catholic Church has estimates of more than 250 million faithful worldwide.

The split is largely down to differences in study methodology.
