Agreed. I have had to enable Accessibility / Increase Contrast mode (10.10.2) to keep my rMBP 750M & TB Display bearable from lag issues.
Got a tip for us?

I doubt there is a team of programmers eager to fix bugs that has been forced to reluctantly make emotions, guys.

Need to edit the tones on these faces as not seeing much diversity at the top end right now:

Forcing differences is actual racism. They should have left them all yellow. (red for mad)

Don't fix my Wi-Fi problem. Can't wait to dig out the lan cable to download this BS.

Fix the damn retina lag, Apple. Yosemite is a lagfest after a few hours with a retina Mac.
Emoji can wait.
Emoji can wait.
I honestly hate emojis.
Why oh why can't people use good ole fashioned WORDS to communicate?!?!?!
The combined forces of my need to use a computer, Microsoft and the PC manufacturers are actually. This is a ridiculous story for a serious operating system.
In case these words don't make sense to anyone I will translate into emoji
Really? And their priorities should be to focus on a silly calculator app?
NO ID***, to fix serious bugs that still infest Yosemite!
Why does it seem radical to have skin tones other than white?
Why does that seem radical to you? Seriously.

Do you really think the people who make cosmetic adjustments to emojis are the same people who fix problems with WiFi? They're not.

Because they are EMOJI. EMOTICONS. Root word: emotion. Not skin color, not race, not signifying "person", signifying emotion. If you think emotions are racially based, you have a problem.
Also, they should be fixing bugs, dammit!!
Really? What kind of issue are you having? Which Retina Mac do you have?
I ask because I'm planning to buy one, but if it has serious issues, I'll wait.
Who is they? I've seen very few until just the last year or two. And yes, that is what I said, "they" should have left them alone.

I don't see any "foaming". What I see is someone who cares about Apple wishing for more from Apple... and this particular thing- while nice (I guess) for some- doesn't seem like it's that big a deal vs. our high expectations of Apple.
I suspect many of us believe that it's time or past time for a bona-fide "next big thing" from Apple... something on par with iPod, iPhone and iPad. It seems a subset of us think that might be the
watch but there also seems to be another subset at least as large that think that watch is going to fall short of iPod, iPhone and iPad punch.I believe many are looking for the flying car or a teleporter or holodeck technology from Apple (or something similarly toward the edge of imagination), so getting tinted emoji begs from some voiced frustration. It's not ranting against Apple or even "Apple is doomed"; it's Apple has set high, "magical" expectations over the last 14 years and many are longing for some more, big-impact Apple magic.
The bigger rumors flying now are a slightly thinner laptop with almost no ports, a modestly larger iPad that might be nothing more than a bigger iPad and this
watch. Some of us see "incredible", "shut up and take my money" "magic" in each or all of those. Others see products that don't look like they'll bring "next big thing" impacts on par with iPod, iPhone and iPad. That latter group of others simply want Apple to bring the magic.

I don't think it's radical. I think it's silly. Because once you go down this route then you're going to have people of every possible race, religion, sexual orientation, political affiliation, vegan etc. etc. etc. ad naseum all clamouring to have their particular niche be included.
And as other have (rightly) pointed out there's so much more important things that need to be worked on.
this is a tidbit about a small division of apple's team who spent their specific skills tweaking emojis (for a very brief period), as reported on a rumor mill site.
funny how many people are acting like this story is now the homepage banner of apple.com, with a parallax explanation about the man-hours and R&D that went into it, narrated by ives.
