And to celebrate, Notch decides to take yet another vacation
whoa
someone made that structure by stacking blocks?
I really hope Jens and Dinnerbone are getting a higher salary than everyone else at Mojang for updating the only thing making them money.

He's probably already on vacation. When he walks through the door, his colleagues will tell him about his triumph. Notch will shout, "THIS CALLS FOR ANOTHER VACATION!" and 180s and walks out the door.
No linux love?

For professional game journalists, these guys have no idea how to use the English language.
It's a good idea to understand the language you're writing if you write for a living.

You are aware that they are humans and humans make mistakes, right? Even major news corporations have fuckups every now and again, it's to be expected.

I was a bit worried that the things from the April Fools were all a big joke, but Horses made an appearance so I'm hoping that some of the other cool features will too.

I'm not sure how truthful your title is, but you mustn't be that clever. Minecraft is made in Java, Java works on Windows, Mac and Linux
To go even further, you have to buy it through the website, and web browsers exist on practically everything

Hey, if you're gonna throw shit at someone else's grammar, you better have your own grammar in line to back it up. I'm just as tired of seeing "it's" in place of "its" as the next grammar nazi, but you don't see me going around and bitching about every instance of it.

What's your point?
If they are touting it as selling 10m copies on Windows and Mac then why not include Linux?

Paul Dean has written over 13 pages of articles, and writes shit for a living. You'd expect a person like this to know how to avoid one of the most common grammar mistakes ever.

it's his fucking JOB to write things correctly, as his work is read by thousands of people. there's really no excuse to have incorrect grammar and spelling nowadays, as we have high-tech shit like spell-check, keyboards, computers, the internet, etc.
people like you and me sort of have an excuse, because our dumb posts on a dumb internet forum don't really amount to anything, and weren't being paid. he doesn't.
[h2]It's a fucking apostrophe[/h2]
If the entire article was filled with errors and/or used text speak then yeah, there would be a reason to be upset. But holy fucking shit. It's just an apostrophe. Get over it. A master of ones craft still makes mistakes.

If we were talking about nuclear launch instructions (hohoho topical) that would be important
but we're not
we're talking about a context in which misreading a sentence will, at worst, misinform people about something that's not life-threatening in the least.
Moreover, we're talking about a particular sentence that when encountered by readers, will be re-read correctly by most of the readership because they're smart enough to extrapolate the meaning when the only thing that breaks the grammatical correctness of the sentence is its/it's
