Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

I’ve been away from the PC upgrade scene for so long that when a friend asked me to take a look at his PC over the weekend, I poked at a skinny little cable that looked like it should go from his sound card to his CD-ROM drive and almost embarassed myself by wondering aloud why it was connected to a hard drive. He noticed my quizzical look and he let me know it was a SATA drive. “This uses SATA, too,” he said pointing to an eSATA card and its corresponding external cable that led to a drive enclosure on his desktop. Last time I looked I’d only read about external SATA cards being in development, but that must have been quite a while ago.

Penny-Arcade has a new comic up describing a shopping trip designed to upgrade one’s system to work with the rather high bar set by requirements of the upcoming system-obsoleting Crysis. Give it a look here.
