Jan. 27, 2011— -- Facebook has introduced new security features after the social network's founder Mark Zuckerberg's fan page was hacked.

Facebook will also block hackers through a "social authentication" process which will occasionally ask users to identify pictures of their friends.
New Sony Playstation
Sony unveiled its next generation of Playstation Portable on Thursday.
Sony claims the new gaming device is as powerful as the PS3, which means better graphics than the first PSP. The company says the device will go on sale by the holidays.
Sony also plans to release an app that will run PlayStation games on Android phones.
