 Eight new emojis are now available on Apple devices!

 Thanks for that insightful update as it tells us a lot about Apple.
 I saw that news yesterday, or maybe the day before. I laughed.
It's no longer amazing what Apple customers tremendously care about.

 The main takeaway from that datum is Apple owners are superficial beings.

 For once I agree with Mariion..
 I was completely underwhelmed by this announcement.
 Old John.

Here's another underwhelming (and over-hyped) announcement for you.
Here in New Zealand, the PB Tech company, one of the Apple Authroised Resellers, sent out an email yesterday saying:
    "Looking for amazing Apple products at unbeatable prices?
     It’s time for the Apple Deal Weekend at PB Tech!
     Don't miss out on this amazing deal – shop now and save!"
but when you go to their website you find the so-called "amazing" "savings" are actually incredibly pitiful. You get a measley NZ$20 off a NZ$2000 iPhone, or NZ$50 off a NZ$4000 MacBook Pro, or NZ$9 off a NZ$400 iPad.   :-\
(For comparison, a branded 500g block of butter costs nearly NZ$10.)
