Charming visuals

Set in medieval times, Tiny Thief features a somewhat silly storyline with funny characters from the period and a uniquely charming visual style.

Three stars

To get all three stars for each level, you have to reach objectives of increasing difficulty.

Very sneaky

Sometimes, you'll find yourself stealing an item right from under an enemy's nose.

Hey, look over there!

Some levels require you to create a diversion, so you can steal items without getting caught.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
