Long Bioshock PS3 install likely

DarkZero: The release of Bioshock on the PS3 may still be a long way off, but according the BBFC - who have recently rated the upcoming game - players will apparently have to sit through a 24 minute install before they venture into the dystopian city of Rapture. We say apparently, as the listing is not very exact in it's wording, and just remarks "00:05:24:00 BIOSHOCK PS INSTALL VID FINAL.BIK" as part of their listing.

Bioshock 2 and Bioshock PS3 for simultaneous release?

"By now you all know that Bioshock is coming to the PS3 system. It has taken a long time and many rumours for this to be announced but it is coming.

Nyko Media Hub Increases Port-ness Of PS3

Nyko Media Hub Increases Port-ness Of PS3 Those who have been buying the current PS3 (40GB model) may have noticed that the console is slim on a few ports. But that’s OK, because Nyko has turned their attention to all y’all who are missing your USB ports. Nyko’s Media Hub for the PS3 ups the USB and memory card reading ante for all models of the PS3. So technically the original PS3 could still have more ports than the newer 40GB.

The PS3 is More Than a Toy With Fedora

"By contrast, the PS3 has had support for running Linux since before it was released, and Sony has made support code and packages widely available. The "Cell addons" CD released around the system's launch included direct support for Fedora 5 and 6, but it also provided all the files needed for other distributions to develop PS3 ports. As a result, Fedora 7 simply works on the PS3 without the need for a separate CD, although you still need to use the Sony downloads to install the bootloader. The add-on software CD (see Resources) continues to get updates with new kernel versions."

The long tail of search marketing

The "long tail' concept basically refers to the practice of selling fewer quantities of more products. It is discussed in a book by Chris Anderson entitled "The Long Tail: Why the Future of Business is Selling Less of More". The concept is relevant to search marketing. For instance, use of obscure keywords on search engines such as MSN and Google at least equals well-known keywords. A long tail strategy is effective in the competitive search marketing sector.
