Apple has released the trailer for Planet of the Apps, its foray into original exclusive content for Apple Music and Apple TV. It's basically Shark Tank but for app developers, and will premiere sometime this Spring.

Open Whisper Systems, the non-profit behind Signal, announced a beta version that adds encrypted video calls and a promise of better call quality. You can activate the new features in the "advanced" settings menu.

Facebook announced its soon-to-release standalone app for Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Samsung Smart TVs. The app will bring videos from friends and liked pages onto the TV, as well as recommended videos based on your viewing history.

We also discuss Microsoft's call for a digital Geneva Convention, EHang's upcoming drone taxi service in Dubai, and we talk with Ian Sherr from CNET about love... in the digital age.
