Tom:
I'm running it on Mac and it crashes like every 30 minutes.

smack that isaiah:
I would say that the 30 min crash time could be due to a memory leak in the code*, since it was one guy who wrote it all, there wasn't much room for someone else to be checking him for leaks, but he wrote it all in Java, which is much less prone to memory leaks than c++ since Java has secret pointers that track when a variable is no longer in use and frees up it's memory space.

Also, my roommate runs it on his Mac and he plays for much more than 30 min a session and often doesn't run into crashing troubles.

*This isn't unheard of, if you try to play lugaru for about 3 hours straight it often crashes due to memory leaks from the coder forgetting to free up space on the heap after he stops using them

Wasteroo:
man why did this thread have to remind me of the existence of Minecraft, it is going to ruin me academically

smack that isaiah:
so I bought it today (b/c my roommate heard a rumor online saying Notch is planning on taking it out of Alpha soonish.  and when it's not in Alpha the 1/2 off sale will be gone).  I can say that my grades may suffer.
