8oz is one cup, regardless of dry or wet.
CORRECTION: It's commonly thought that 8oz=1cup, since 8 fluid oz of liquid equals one cup. But when you measure dry in ounces you are measuring weight. To give an extreme example, 8oz of lead is about 0.073 (less than 1/13) cup.
The reason for the confusion is when you measure 8 fluid ounces, you are actually measuring the volume that is equivalent to 8 ounces of water. Not the weight of what you're really measuring.
The number of cups of rice in 8 oz of rice varies slightly depending on the type of rice, etc.
According to a volume/weight conversion calculator I found, 8 oz of rice, depending on the type of rice is:
short round - 1.08 cups
long - 1.13 cups
Basmati - 1.16 cups
rice flour - 1.42 cups
So for measuring rice for cooking you're probably safe estimating 8oz = approx. 1 1/8 cups (1.125).
Or if you're lazy like me, a heaping cup of rice will work just fine.
