In today's TechBytes, good news for parents who have been experiencing iTune sticker shock. Apple is now requiring users to re-enter their passwords when making in-app purchases. Now the hope is that this will prevent kids from inadvertently buying virtual goods while playing games on their parents' iPhones and iPads.

Original programming may be coming to Netflix. The movie-oriental service is reportedly in talks to acquire a TV series, starring Kevin Spacey and directed by The Social Network's David Fincher. This will be the first time a programme will be streamed on Netflix before seen anywhere else.

And it seems like there's an app for just about everything these days while now smokers have one that can help them quit. Canadian scientists have developed Nicot which encourages users to find and crush as many virtual cigarettes as they can over a 12-week period. The app is available for $5 in the iTune store.

Those are your TechBytes. I'm Peggy Bunker.
