Facebook is testing features which could allow kids under 13 to access Facebook under parental supervision. The Wall Street Journal reports that among the features in the works are those that would allow kids to create an account that was linked to, and managed by their parents' accounts. Facebook may even charge parents for the additional features. Though Facebook has a strict age restriction on the users that sign up to use it, kids under 13 circumvent the barriers in place and slink in. Rather than try to stem the pre-teen ingress (a tricky problem because many parents don't know about the age restriction and a high percentage of those who do help kids set up accounts anyway), and though it brings up numerous privacy concerns, a more effective method to keep the social network safe for kids would be to let them in supervised, Facebook sources told the Wall Street Journal.

Nintendo Officially Reveals Wii U Controllers, Key To Next-Gen Console Gaming
Nintendo has revealed the final-configuration hardware that'll control its Wii U next-negeration gaming console, the company's great white hope to win the next-gen console game market from Microsoft and Sony. The hardware has been subject to much speculation since it was shown in prototype form as a tablet-like device with game controls around the edge. Now the controller is known to have NFC tag read and write skills, the ability to act as an independent TV remote, gyro sensors, and has more conventional analog stick inputs--much like its competition. Nintendo is hoping to gain the sort of sales popularity that it saw with its original Wii gaming device, which has long since ceded dominance to its traditional competition and the rising threat of casual gaming on devices like the iPhone and iPad--the last two capturing a market which, alone, is predicted to rise to $7.5 billion worldwide by 2015.

Nintendo made the unusual move to tease us with what may be the most innovative part of its Wii U console ahead of its bigger press event at E3 2012 this week.

SwaggSec Hacks China Telecom And Warner Bros.

A group that calls itself SwaggSec ("Hacking Today for an Entertaining Tomorrow") has owned up to breaking into China Telecom and, in an apparently unrelated move, Warner Bros. as well, CNET reports. Post-hack, on Twitter, SwaggSec goaded Warners Bros. to fix the gaps in their security infrastructure. SwaggSec's last high-profile coup was in early February this year, when the group hacked Foxconn's servers and extracted and published usernames and passwords of employees.

China Blocks Tiananmen Square Searches On 23rd Anniversary
On the 23rd anniversary of the Tiananmen Square uprising, China has censored search terms related to the crackdown. Banned search terms include the Chinese translations of "23," "six four," "never forget" and according to some,"today," the BBC reports. China's government has a track record of blotting out search terms related to politically sensitive topics, which has led Chinese political activists to express themselves on microblogging platforms like Sina Weibousing representative metaphors and images. As censor-defying memes for protest are getting more popular, the government is getting better at spotting them and snuffing them out too--the candle emoticon, usually used to mourn deaths on Weibo, is also blocked today. Google, which has long opposed the China government on the subject of search engine censorship last week, announced a new feature that would alert users when search terms they entered were censored. Chinese search engines like Baidu are previously "sanitized" for sensitive information, but since Google's servers are out of reach, their service is simply disrupted when a banned search term is entered, the New York Times explains.
