Minecraft Maker Reports Stellar Earnings and Two Other Stories You Need to Know

Welcome to this morning's edition of "First To Know," a series in which we keep you in the know on what's happening in the digital world.

Today, we're looking at three particularly interesting stories. Apple sort of revealed a new developer feature during one of the many entertaining Super Bowl ads. The Super Bowl did not go exactly as planned, though, as a power outage brought the game to a halt. And, if you want to hear a feel-good success story, look no further than Mojang, developers of the wildly popular Minecraft game, who earned around $101.4 million in 2012.

Check out the video above for more on these stories.
