A listing has been found on the German Amazon shop for ” PlayStation 3 Konsole slim .” There are no other details on the listing — no date, no picture, no price, and even the platform is listed as “platform independent.” The listing is so new and so devoid of info that nobody has even posted any user reviews of this nonexistent product. With all the stuff we’ve heard about the supposed Slim , we have no doubt that it is, or will be, a real product — but this Amazon listing does little to convince. We will, however, keep checking Amazon for more info about the Slim, whenever we log back in to see if Starcraft: Ghost is back in stock.

“There are no plans to release a PSP port of Shadow of Destiny in North America at this time.” — Konami, July 7th, 2009 After hurtling forward in temporal space for just over three weeks, it seems we’ve arrived at a point when Konami does indeed have plans to release its quirky time-travel caper. At this time, the Entertainment Software Ratings Board lists a “Teen” rating specifically for the PSP version of Shadow Of Destiny , as well as a cautionary note describing the numerous ways in which protagonist Eike gets bumped off. Remember, you’re solving your own murder mystery in this one! With the death of adventure gaming having been revealed to be entirely exaggerated, it comes as little surprise to see even Konami digging through its backlog for a few classic walk-and-talkers. Not that we’re complaining. [Via Siliconera ] Original source: www.joystiq.com , delivered by rss-farm.ru

For users or businesses that want to use Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) but don’t feel like ponying up the required subscription fee to get the binary, CentOS has been a great option. Essentially, CentOS take the source from RHEL (which is released to the community), repackages it and offers up the binary for free to anyone who wants it. Although RHEL isn’t really my favorite server-based Linux distro, one of my web servers uses CentOS, and it’s a pretty decent solution. Yesterday, some of the developers and maintainers of the CentOS project posted an open letter to Lance Davis, the co-founder of the CentOS proect. It reads, in part: You seem to have crawled into a hole … and this is not acceptable. You have long promised a statement of CentOS project funds; to this date this has not appeared. You hold sole control of the centos.org domain with no deputy; this is not proper.

The SAT-3 Consortium is investigating the fault in its undersea cable which has left most of West Africa disconnected from the Internet. A major break in an undersea cable has left large parts of West Africa without an Internet connection. As reported by the BBC , the break in the SAT-3 undersea cable - running from Portugal to South Africa via West Africa - has resulted in the loss of around 70 percent of the bandwidth available to West Africa, leaving many without any connection at all. Ladi Okuneye, the chief marketing officer of West African Suburban Telecom, explained that the damaged cable was ” the only fibre optic cable serving West Africa, ” meaning that ” all West African countries have to use it. ” The consortium behind the SAT-3 cable is due to dispatch a repair vessel to investigate the fault in the 15,0000km cable, but state that it could be two weeks before the ship is in place and repairs can begin. The fault has resulted in many West African countries scrabbling to put agreements in place with their neighbours to reroute traffic, and several countries - including Togo and Niger - are still offline with no agreements in place. It is not known what exactly has caused the damage in the Benin branch of the cable, but it’s not unheard of for incautious ships to cause cables to move enough to crack. Can you imagine being disconnected from the Internet for two weeks or more, or do you have your addiction well under control? Share your thoughts over in the forums
