Developer tools. Hope there's a couple of like announcements to make the App Store ecosystem even better. Could add more analytics, improve Xcode, incorporate Chompy for app discovery, and more accessory support.

What a journey.
If ATV has even a few new features, I likely will buy. Hopefully it is no iOS powered. I SO want to still say I am not an iOS dude. :)

Bill, this anti-iOS thing is moving beyond eccentricity into full-fledged psychosis. Grats!

What a journey.
But, at the same time, I am anti-Android, too. So I got that going for me.

You want to buy my first-gen Apple TV, Bill? No iOS, a stripped-down OS X 10.4 just the way God intended. (Fun fact: the UI is done in Quartz Composer.)

I am still in the decidin' stage. But don't let me hold you up on selling it.

I find it a bit odd that they'd update the AppleTV again so quickly.
The AppleTV3 was only released in what, March?
PS I *heart* my AppleTV. So much more reliable than that western digital piece of crap. And while it hasn't been jailbroken for Plex yet, Air Video running from my iPad means I can play just about anything. Best $110 ever spent.

Note: Tony said the same thing about the hookers and blackjack during his last visit.

I can't imagine they'll update the AppleTV hardware wise. Now they might announce a TV, but no new black box. That said, I fully expect that iOS 6 will be integrated into AppleTV. Frankly there is little left that they can do with iOS at this stage.

Reliable-looking report on new Mac Pros, new MacBook Pros, and new line of retina display portables, between MacBook Air and MacBook Pros.
I'm torn; if I have a choice between retina display portable or standard display, and they're both being powered by an Nvidia 650M, then the standard display would give me more fps in games but the retina display will be prettier, despite having more pixels to push around. Decisions, decisions... It may come down to most powerful CPU or most storage capacity.

A commenter on the Mac World Game of Thrones WWDC coverage posted, "As long as we don't have a Red Keynote..."

The rest of the keynote kind of bores me, but I am thrilled at the screenshots of Do Not Disturb mode. It took them till iOS 6 to realize that people sometimes sleep in the same room as their phones, but they finally fixed it!

Ordered one of the old-look MacBook Pros. I needed more storage capacity than the new ones offer, and I was worried about how a Nvidia 650M would do pushing four times as many pixels. As before, the older MBP's have a higher-res screen option (1,680-by-1,050), so I'll get better resolution than my current machine (1,440-by-900) but have enough extra power in my 650M to drive it and still see an improvement in game performance.

I'm wondering if I should sell my Warhammer 40K stuff (since I never play anyway) to fund the difference between my 2011 MBP and the retina model. For gaming, pixel doubled 1440x900 would run faster, and be nearly as crisp, as my current 1680x1050 resolution. For everything else, the GPU should handle 2880x1800 just fine.

Apple's certainly giving us some interesting choices.
