Nope. In fact, I'm really happy that the idiots got a slap in the face now that Tim Cook really has doubled down.
I always figured that the leaks were, for the most part, carefully orchestrated in order to build interest and a sense of "insider" info among the faithful. Sure, some were legitimately problems, like the lost iPhone prototype, but isn't it interesting that whatever Apple announces is always front page news at CNN.com the day before the announcement? The "leaks" followed a predictable cycle, and I never thought thety happened by accident.
Of course, it's Tim Cook's company now and he can do what he wants. Or I could be way off base.
Have the "everything will be refreshed at WWDC" rumors ever held up?
Every other year or so I have a small hope that the keynote gets scheduled for four hours and is a non-stop Christmas party. Then I have a cup of coffee.
Not that many people would be upset by several "and there is one more thing"'s.
Have the "everything will be refreshed at WWDC" rumors ever held up?
Well not really recently. That is because Apple has a lot more products. The trick right now is to read the tea leaves so to speak and guess at what could be updated. It is a tough guess but I'm leaning towards more than average. Intels Haswell release should tell us more.

Well the Mac Pro line is certainly sewed up tight. There has been almost nothing leaked about the hardware.
I am too. I also think this will be one of the best WWDC Keynotes but I always wish Steve was back to announce the products. At the end I would always wait to see if he said " and one more thing."
I guess Steve Jobs really did live the remaining of his life to the highest potential anyone could.
Tim Cook is a really good CEO as well, last year there were so many products released I couldn't count them all. So I'm making a list.
A Mac Mini,
an iMac,
3 iPads, the 2nd gen rev a, 3rd gen and the 4th gen retina models,
an iPad Mini,
an iPhone,
a new iPod Touch,
a new iPod Nano,
A Macbook Air,
A Macbook Pro,
A retina Macbook Pro,
iTunes,
Mountain Lion,
iOS 6 (probably not the best because it upset users losing Google Maps and Youtube for like a month... but overall last year was the highest Apple Product launch year.)
And if I missed any let me know. It's insane all of these products/updates were made in only one year. I have no idea why the stock went down.
And in 2013
iPad Retina 128gb
iPod 5th gen rev a 16gb
Updated Macbook pro retina display processors/ cut prices a bit
Hopes and Dreams for remaining of 2013
3D iPod Touch
New iPhone 6 with Wifi AC, battery that can charge in 20 seconds.
Mac Pro Cube or XMac slimmer mid tower rig
Mac Mini's with Haswell
Macbook Air Haswell and Wifi AC
Macbook Pro with Haswell and Wifi AC with better facetime Eyesight
iRadio
Airdrop on iOS devices
Better multitasking on iPad
Siri on Macs
Retina iMac
iCloud Drag and Drop folder in X
Wifi AC on iPad
Apple TV
iWatch
Macbook with LCD Keyboard
Siri and Apple Maps on Mac OS X 10.9
2014
Curved Display iMac
Batteries that last a week, recharge in seconds,
snapshot editable camera like BBZ10
Haswell Successor Skylake Processors on Macbooks and iMacs
AMD Graphics on iPad, HD "Retina Content" Streaming over Wifi AC in iPads.
Curved Screen iPhone
Electro Tactile iPad
Being Able to pay at physical stores using your Apple ID using "iWallet" or Passbook.
I'm optomistic about the future of Apple.
4 more days til the banners start being put up at Moscone West for the big event!
EDIT June 03, 2013 : WWDC APP BY APPLE ON iTUNES NOW AVAILABLE.
Download that babyhere from Apple's website using iTunes since I couldn't find it on the iPhone App Store for some weird reason.
Keynote starts at 10 AM and ends at 12 PM on June 10 in the Pacific Time Zone
It is interesting how "quiet" Apple has been. It must burn Samsung up, not knowing where to take their products next.
Heck, Apple could probably sit on their product releases for another year and continue to out earn Samsung, but I'd rather they came back with a series of highly innovative upgrades to deliver a deathblow to Samsung (and continue to push hard on the legal front to enforce their patent rights).

The only death blow that can come now is Apple investing in hit men and military aircraft to destroy Samsung's infrastructure and kill off its "engineers".
The courts have failed. Justice has failed. Apple can only beat them by using technology stolen from the future or by killing them off. Personally, I'm hoping for technology stolen from the future.

I hear transwarp beaming technology is fairly useful.
TB2 is real. Could Apple have early access and be including it in the MacPro that I hope will be released next week?
I saw that. Well, Intel did make a CPU exclusive to Apple for a short time previously, so yeah, anything is possible. Though a WWDC might just be all about software. I just wish it was Monday already!

I'm reluctant to believe that the Mac Pro replacement will come next week. In my gut I know it should as Apple will look extremely poor in the eyes of many customers. It wouldn't be impossible for Apple to have exclusivity on TB 2 though. The bigger Mac Pro problem is what CPU would go in the machine.

I think the replacement for the current Mac Pro will be a new chassis & much needed internals renewing; it should be shown/highlighted/discussed at the keynote, but will not ship for a few months (or so).
Actually RAM is the reason to go with XEON. 32 GB is simply to little RAM for some uses of the Mac Pro. However I could see Apple producing a Mac Pro replacement that gives up large RAM arrays for a simpler architecture that would allow them to either drive costs down or include a Phi coprocessor.
I thought IGP's were getting heterogeneous and independent so they wouldn't bother RAM or CPU's for Bandwidth... It's better because GPU's use Parallel Processing and CPU's just follow instructions one by one per core. It's all in GCN Tech in AMD's latest APU's and Nvidia is coming up with some stuff that's similar on their systems... I don't understand why XEON's are better than Ivy Bridge or Haswell's. Could you please explain it to me? Other than having 12 cores. And I don't think many people need more than 32GB of RAM. The minimum right now is 4GB but most people go with 8GB and they're dual channeled. I would like to see more Single Channel RAM in Macs, because they cycle information faster. Another thing is the latency of RAM, Apple does not the have best speeds in the field.
Their monitors are way behind the 1 ms respond time threshold and the contrast ratio is not so great on them. They're bright and useful for normal tasks but for watching content and gaming I really noticed a lot of ghosting and artifacts not moving as they should.
Wouldn't it be better if Apple just released a mid tower Mac Pro or a G6 Cube like we've talked about before?
Considering nobody water-cools Macs and DDR4 Ram won't be here until the Fall. Plus Mac OS X is in not many computers in the world right now due to the fact that Apple Computers are expensive as hell... Plus Windows 7 is still going strong even after Windows 8 was released. Not many people say "Today I'm going to install an operating system on my computer." OS's should update themselves and then ask you if you want to keep the update or revert to the previous way. No reason to pay 80 dollars for Windows 8 and loose everything trying to upgrade either.
No wonder their biggest markets are the iPhone and iPad.
Truth Apple did buy a memory making company last year so who knows what they're doing with them. Terabyte SSD's for Mac Pro's or soldered memory are coming.

Hopefully that doesn't mean no retooling.

You are a good dreamer I see.
Erecto Tactile Ipad.... oops sorry, my bad, i misread. I guess I just have a dirty mind.
iOS 7
Mac OSX 10.9
Macbook Pro- classic Spec Bump, Retina Possibly slight redesign and new fetaures
Macbook Air- spec bump with new features
iRadio
iMac Spec Bump, Mac MiNI Spec bump.
Mac Pro
Apps on Apple TV
Sounds like a lot to me though :P
