Facebook: To Stand on the Net, 13 and Above Can Join

Facebook is looking into ways to let children under the age of 13 sign up for the social network, which could set off a whole new round of privacy complaints, The Wall Street Journal reports.

The company is currently testing features that would grant access to those under the age of 13, but only with greater parental supervision.

"Mechanisms being tested include connecting children's accounts to their parents' and controls that would allow parents to decide whom their kids can 'friend' and what applications they can use, people who have spoken with Facebook executives about the technology said," the Journal reports. "The under-13 features could enable Facebook and its partners to charge parents for games and other entertainment accessed by their children, the people said."

At the moment, you must be at least 13 years old to sign up for a Facebook account, though some studies have found there may be millions of underage users already on the site who simply lie about their age.

If Facebook can come up with a successful way to grant access to younger users, the move could help the social network to significantly boost its user numbers, not to mention the potential of having a whole new demographic for companies to market to on the website.

Phnom Penh City - one of the 10 greatest street food cities

Cambodians like to snack throughout the day, so it’s no surprise their capitol is teeming with street-food choices. Depending on what time it is, you’ll find scores of different types of street cuisine being sold by roving vendors or at stationary street stalls that cook on small charcoal grills. Phnom Penh is the capital city of Cambodia. It is famous for it weather and living condition as it is cheap to live. Simple ways of life and exciting monsoon weather, cold and warm. Interestingly, Phnom Penh is selected to be the Asia's 10 Greatest Street Food Cities. Please visit this link Asia's 10 greatest street food cities

The local markets are also a good source of Khmer snacks, particularly Central, Kandal and Orussei, as well as the streets around the city’s many schools and universities. Breakfast time and early evenings are particularly busy, as hungry students flood the streets, looking for fried noodles, Cambodian sandwiches and sweet treats.
1. Num pang:
Baguettes are a lasting legacy of the French colonization of Cambodia -- as in Vietnam, they are used for street-side sandwiches that are filled with a mixture of Eastern and Western ingredients. In Phnom Penh the sandwiches are filled with pate, butter or homemade mayonnaise, spicy red chili paste, crunchy pickled green papaya and carrot and a type of pork bologna and served with soy sauce and fish sauce on the side.

A classic with a Cambodian twist.

2. Nom banh chok:This popular breakfast food is often called the Cambodian national dish. It's usually sold by women carrying the ingredients in baskets hanging from a pole balanced on their shoulders. The noodles are made from fermented rice and topped with aromatic green fish curry gravy, flavored with lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves and turmeric root. Fresh herbs, bean sprouts, banana flower and cucumber are added for a pleasant, refreshing crunch.

Breakfast that travels to you.

3. Num plae ai:These yummy small, round rice dumplings are filled with liquid caramelized palm sugar and topped with fresh coconut shavings. They're sometimes called nom somlap pdey, or “dessert that kills your husband,” because the smooth, chewy texture makes num plae ai easy to choke on if you eat them too fast!

Eat at your own risk.
4. Bai sach chrouk

Bai sach chrouk, or grilled pork with rice, is a simple and delicious breakfast food sold by numerous Phnom Penh street vendors, who usually sell out by 8:30 every morning. Thinly sliced pork that's been marinated in coconut milk or garlic is grilled slowly over warm coals. It's served over steamed rice, sometimes with a fried egg, a side of freshly pickled daikon radish and cucumber, and a dab of spicy chili paste.

Try it at: Kandal Market, Street 5, Phnom Penh

Get in early.

5. Coconut water

Vendors walk around Phnom Penh with carts piled high with young, green coconuts. They slice the tops off to order so customers can drink the coconut water with a straw. Cambodians believe that coconut water is extremely healthy, and many locals try to drink a coconut every day. Once you’re finished, you can ask the vendor to slice the coconut open so you can access the flesh inside.

Ask for the food and drink combo.

6. Fresh fruit

One of the simplest but most delicious street foods that Phnom Penh has to offer is fresh ripe fruit. Ambulatory vendors sell juicy pineapple, papaya, dragonfruit, watermelon, guava and green mango out of glass cases. When you order, they'll offer to cut the fruit into bite-sized pieces, which are eaten with a wooden skewer, and sprinkle it with entirely unnecessary MSG, sugar and chili.

Made to order.

7. Mi char

Fried noodles are popular with students looking for an afternoon snack once school lets out. Most noodle sellers carry a few options in their cart -- instant noodles from ramen packages, soft yellow egg noodles, or short, thick rice noodles. They're stir-fried in fish sauce and soy sauce with beef and greens, and usually a fried egg is added to the equation. Most Cambodians choose to eat mi char with mild, sweet chili sauce.

Keeps the kids happy.

8. Kuy teav

You'll find similar noodle soups in Vietnam and Thailand, but kuy teav is believed to have originated with Chinese immigrants in Cambodia. Whatever its origins, the soup is a hearty breakfast made with pork or beef broth and thin rice noodles, and topped with fried shallots, green onions and crunchy bean sprouts. Sometimes the soup will also contains prawns, beef balls or pork liver and is served with red chili sauce with vinegar and sugar.

9. Ngeav chamhoy

Cockles steamed with chilies, fragrant lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves and galangal are an enticing late-night snack sold street-side and by roving vendors pushing carts with portable steamers. Ngeav is the Khmer word for a type of native clam known as the blood cockle due to its red color, caused by hemoglobin similar to that in human blood. Ngeav chamhoy taste best accompanied by a spicy chili sauce and washed down with a cold beer.

Eat with beer.
10. Num sang khya l'peou: This treat is as tasty as it is impressive. A pumpkin’s seeds are removed and then it’s filled with egg yolks, palm sugar and coconut milk. The top is put back on and the whole thing is steamed for half an hour. When it's done, it's sliced to best show off the contrasting orange pumpkin flesh filled with smooth, creamy custard.

Jennifer Lopez named 'world’s greatest musical comeback act' -- seriously

One billion online searches were ranked to determine biggest comebacks in U.K. and U.S. music since 2004 and Jennifer Lopez led the pack. It’s scientifically proven, so you know it’s true.

Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez has been virtually inescapable this year -- whether judging “American Idol” or shilling Fiats -- and now there's this: On Thursday, the pop diva was named the “world’s greatest musical comeback act.”

The ranking came from Accuracast, a digital search agency that analyzed 1 billion online Google searches from 2004 to present.

Lopez beat out Mariah Carey and Ricky Martin for the top spot. New Kids on the Block and Brian Wilson rounded out the U.S. acts.

From the second the ink dried on the 42-year-old’s contract with “American Idol,” 2011 became the year of J.Lo. It's a stark contrast to the rocky couple of years that saw her (literally) stumble at the 2009 AMAs while performing with her bombed single "Louboutins," getting dropped from longtime label Sony and her film "The Back-Up Plan" performing poorly.

But Lopez smartly timed her comeback effort, "Love?," with her stint on "Idol." The album's lead single, "On the Floor," entered the charts at No. 9, her highest debut ever, and the album bowed at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 charts. She's also amassed hundreds of millions of views on YouTube andVevo, and her video--featuring Pitbull -- is now the third-most-watched music video of all time.
Aside from shamelessly pimping Gucci Fiats through commercials, music videos and onstage, Jenny from the Block has also scored TV spots for Venus razors, L'Oréal EverSleek, Harman Kardon's home theater systems and her own Kohl's clothing line.

While another star would have taken a sabbatical when her marriage crumbled, J.Lo grew even more visible and mocked her sordid luck at love in her live shows. She’s since cozied up with a backup dancer, and she is still pressing forward with "Q'Viva!," a Latin music talent search starring herself and estranged hubby Marc Anthony (it's set to air on Univision and other networks next year.)

Accuracast also ranked U.K. acts, with Take That taking the crown. Still, deceased singers remain the biggest driver of online music searches. Searches for Amy Winehouse after her death equaled those for Lopez’s comeback, and searches for Michael Jackson almost quadrupled those for Lopez.

Check out how U.S. acts fared, according to Accuracast below:
