Most people can't even run this bloated Java mess above 10fps, at least PE will be playable.

I got it to run at a solid 30 fps on a laptop that is nearly 10 years old. (I don't have specs, but it was running Lubuntu at the time)
I've never had any trouble with that.
If you can't run it, that's your problem.

Here's what I want to know:
1. Will it have the same level of modding support? Obviously existing mods won't work for it, but will it have support for new mods?
2. If I remember correctly, minecraft pocket edition only had creative mode. Will this have survival mode?

1. In the above reddit post, a dev says that there won't be modding support for now.
2. PE has had survival mode for a long time now. Even if it didn't, their goal with it is to get it caught up to the Java version.

thanks mojang :)

unfortunately i don't have a touchscreen pc to use it with :(

Keyboard/mouse works too as well as any controllers you have.
It's Windows 10 remember. The whole "every kind of PC under one OS" thing still applies.

Absolutely unneeded. If you're going to buy minecraft on the PC, why would you buy anything but the official full version instead of a version with features arbitrarily picked out of it?

It's free for users who own the Java version of Minecraft.
Also it's still in beta. By the time it's finished it'll be caught up and have its own exclusive features.
And if you get it during the beta, you will have the full version as well when it's released.

why can I only play with 7 people
through xbox live
which I do not have

It's referring to the Xbox Live app that will come with Windows 10. Not something you have to pay for.
It pretty much is a video game friends list that uses your Microsoft account.

they've done what the community couldn't do, and now they're monopolizing it
this is all the reason and more to port the game to C++ before they release this for money

Actually, it's just a pocket edition port for the Windows 10 store.

That's also why you can only play with 7 people.

They're attempting to revive Minecraft by making an OS exclusive version on an OS that can already play the definitive version of Minecraft.
The only way anyone will ever buy it is if it had stuff that's exclusive to that version, and that would just piss everyone off.

It will apparently be closer to the mobile edition than to any other, as it will have features from that game, optional touch controls, and you can play multiplayer with people playing the mobile edition.

A former Reddit employee just had their account deleted when doing an AMA.

Said employee got terminated by Pao herself because she/he had leukemia and they couldn't work for a little bit, even after she REASSURED the employee they wouldn't be let off.

Here's an archived version of that AMA

Response from Ellen Pao:

"The bigger problem is that we haven't helped our moderators with better support after many years of promising to do so. We do value moderators; they allow reddit to function and they allow each subreddit to be unique and to appeal to different communities. This year, we have started building better tools for moderators and for admins to help keep subreddits and reddit awesome, but our infrastructure is monolithic, and it is going to take some time. We hired someone to product manage it, and we moved an engineer to help work on it. We hired 5 more people for our community team in total to work with both the community and moderators. We are also making changes to reddit.com, adding new features like better search and building mobile web, but our testing plan needs improvement. As a result, we are breaking some of the ways moderators moderate. We are going to figure this out and fix it."

Wasn't the steven bomb the episode where they trained with pearl?
It wasn't much of a bomb for me if that's the case.
I just thought it was a start for something new.

A steven bomb is when there's a new episode five days in a row.
