Right, let's see some patch notes!

I mean seriously hates poor people...
Jeb should buy me a new computer with a card slot compatible with modern video cards.
I never said it was the api. Read again. I said it was getting setup FOR the API. This way those who make mods using the API, can have access to the Shaders through the API once the API is released.
We forgive you for 1.6.
It get stuck in "OpenAL initialized", using 104% of the CPU (1 core and a little bit of the second).
Log:
Likely waited for 10 minutes.
Jeb, add me to the list!
Not allot of people will be able to purchase a new pc to continue playing minecraft. Not adding support for older pc's will hurt mojang than help.
Exactly. Most of today's computers can handle it. If your on a computer that can't, then your computer is extremely old and most likely you don't have a decent video card in the first place. But cheap video cards off of amazon for about 15 bucks can get you a video card that supports at least 3.2 and higher. MAC OSX supports 3.2, Windows and Linux Ubuntu can support up to 4.3 as well.
That's a pretty poor perspective. Besides, they regularly have bug fix patches. This is useful content that opens up a lot for modding and adventure maps and the like.
Besides, it is just one snapshot out of many, all of which create a single "update." They are merely doing us the favor of seeing what they did this week.
I have a 2011 computer with a card with OpenGL 1.4.
So damn you.-
Saw this and had to look it up. OpenGL 2.1 "Release Date: July 2, 2006" People should start doing some homework and getting new updated videos cards. These can be very cheep. Check not only Amazon. New egg / ebay and if you really want to go cheep check your local flea markets / discount computer stores and yard sales. I have seen decent computers with cards that support 2.1 or higher at yard sales as cheep as $5 - $15
