be sure to share your Netflix password before heading to Mars I'm Bridget Carey and this is your CNET update how many of you share your Netflix account password with other people well if you do you may be aware that only two devices can stream at the same time for one account holder if that's a problem because you've shared your password out to distant relatives and old friends then the family streaming plan might be something you want if you upgrade and pay $12 a month instead of $8 a month the family plan lets you stream on four devices at once but the Netflix CEO said he only expects fewer than 1% of subscribers to actually go through with the upgrade if you don't want to live on this planet anymore you can apply for a one-way ticket to Mars and it only costs 38 bucks a Dutch company called Mars 1 is calling for volunteers to launch themselves into space in 2022 and then Coast along for 7 months and land on Mars by 2023 and there's no going back the mission is to help build a settlement with living quarters farm gardens do some science try to find life maybe drink your recycled urine take turns messing with NASA's Rover you know typical Mars life things and more people will be sent as the years go by so maybe you can have Martian babies but deciding who gets to go will be televised and voted on just like reality TV before that time comes Mars 1 is looking for sponsors because it's a tad bit expensive you know about six billion dollars give or take but act fast the opportunity to apply to die on another planet and as August 31st buying a movie or TV season on iTunes can be a long download not as long as traveling to Mars though now Apple is liddie iTunes users pay now and download later for big file items such as movie bundles and music box sets but it requires iTunes 11 on the computer or iOS 6 on a mobile device the next time you visit a business page on Facebook from your phone you'll notice a new design that highlights the location of the place a button to call as well as info if you've checked in before and the number of likes and shares for the establishment so by focusing on check-ins and ratings Facebook tries to be more like Foursquare and Yelp and Foursquare also refreshed its desktop website to keep up with competitors like Yelp it's now easier to search for in flew about a place and reach Foursquare tips from your desktop computer that your tech news update and I'm proud to report it's been one year since this show debuted happy birthday update many thanks to our viewers and be sure to follow along every day on the blog's cnet.com slash to subscribe to the podcast and you can always follow along on twitter from our studios in New York I'm Bridget Carey
