I can't justify using student loan money to buy a computer, but I'm going to anyway.

I got mine with leftover grant money. One of the best purchase I've ever made

I bought my mid 2012 late last year with leftover loan money.

[MacinJosh]

Just can't justify the upfront cost.

I need to change my stance. I can justify a new computer purchase because I need the tax write off on the leftover grant money that didn't go for tuition and books.

Awesome! I'm going to try to do that at a Best Buy in Vegas to get my Retina MacBook Pro. That'll save me over $200 compared to Apple!

To follow up with my last post, here it is for $2,213.33

Oh heck no! I even set up hotspot on my iPad so I could register it and download a few apps too!

A question for you folks running the beta: are the new emojis included with iOS 8? I know they came out in July, and my fiancé is bugging me about it. She speaks in emoji.

No, they're not.

How would Apple push a new keyboard? Wouldn't it have to be included in an os update?

I believe so, yes. Probably in the iOS 8 GM.

Emoji is such an odd language to speak in.

Sort of related to the topic. When I send emoji in a text my girlfriend will get the text of what I said but all spaced out. Has anyone else seen this? She's on a galaxy and me on the iPhone. It's not very often that I send an emoji but when I do it always seems to come out weird. She's noticed this from other iPhone users too. Not just myself.

Which Galaxy? I remember on some of the older Android devices, they didn't come with emoji's preinstalled or something like that, and emoji's would come up as some weird bunch of text on them.

With the Apple announcement a week away, any update on iOS 8 GM?

[jamisonshaw125]

Possible sometime this week. That gives 2 weeks until the official launch of new iPhone  and ios 8 

[jp1992]

I really hope the GM will save the text you enter in the quick reply field. I hate when I miss the send button and the reply is gone forever.

More than likely it will be out a couple of days, or a week or so, after the event on September 9th, if history repeats itself. Usually the GM comes out on a Wednesday, then it launches to the public on a Friday, and then the new device itself comes out that following Tuesday. We'll see how things play out over the next 2-3 weeks.

Was that for the Mac or the Park Av? ;-)

 

Awesome! I can't wait until fall when I can get it myself. And so I can buy either the 99 cent or 3.99 200 gb iCloud storage lol.

J-Law might say otherwise. ;-)

For the Mac! Forget cars right now.

Ah, makes sense.

I would expect iOS 8 to go GM today - they've went GM a week before release for every other version...

I thought it was already seeded. http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/09/apple-seeds-ios-8-gm/I read somewhere that they did.
