So lets see...an average consumer's thoughts
iOS.
-Facebook update - Horrid. Most people despise facebook these days
-Siri - Cool little things, but they are missing the big thing - its not very functional
-Maps - Only Bright light, but..wait for it..GASP...Android still has better maps
-Passbook - Could bring security issues...may be cool...Who knows
Could easily be done in a simple update. 5.4? 5.5?
Overall -3/10
Macbooks
-Slightly better MBA and MBP - Yawn..Think about it. Most people won't notice the difference. Its miniscule.
-New Retina MBP - Fantastic...but wait... 2200 for base model? What? Apple is known to be overpriced but holy ... Wait until Windows Fanboys bash this price. Anyways, good machine but still too expensive. Should replace the 15 inch MBP IMO.
Overall - 4/10
WWDC presentation as a whole - 7/10...only highlight was that it was a good presentation.

Does the steering wheel look right to you or how about that car in front, hey look the iphone...
Not up on chrome but safari works
Win 7, UK here. No video on Chrome or Safari
Nope, I know the image is squished, but the phone has the additional central speaker/sensor/whatever at the top and ratio looks to be more 16:9 than 3:2.
Edit: Actually that screen is EXACTLY 16:9 ratio, I just checked.
Wait until Windows Fanboys bash this price.
No, that's exactly how the White iPhone 4S looks. The proximity sensor is visible above the speaker and camera:

Yup, I just checked, wasn't on my black iPhone 4... But still, handy the screen on that is 16:9...
Why are people downvoting this? Seems accurate to me. Those iOS features could've been implemented in an iteration of iOS 5, the Macbook upgrades are expected, and the Retina MBP is cool, but not that much of a wow (we were expecting this).

Because the image is squished....give it up
Aye, just desperate to find something interesting from the conference as an iPhone 4 (due upgrade) and iPad 2 user... :\
I am so thoroughly DISGUSTED with Apple right now (Mac Pro insult) that I'm not even going to bother watching the Keynote.
My time will be better served researching parts for a new dual hex-core Xeon Sandybridge Hackint0sh with all the trimmings.
