Last Minute WWDC Rumor Roundup
The rumors are diverse, but none of them revolutionary: New MacBooks, maybe with retina displays; new Apple TV; new iOS 6, but no devices to run it on; Apple's own mapping program and API. Are the 17-inch MacBook Pros done?

If you're a Mac fan WWDC seems to be shaping up to be a pretty big deal, but none of the rumors I've heard have me excited:
New Macs with bumped-up specs (faster CPUs, more memory, bigger drives)
New MacBook Pros with similar bumps, but note that the lineup listed by 9to5Mac does not include a 17-inch model. I had heard an analyst say months ago that these would likely be dropped. They're way too big anyway.
2 new MacBook Airs and a MacBook Pro with a Retina display.
Updated AirPort Express
Updated SuperDrive
Some sort of MagSafe update
The formal announcement of iOS 6
Do Not Disturb feature to turn off Alerts and Banners
Facebook integration of some sort
New APIs for Siri and mapping
We'll find out more very soon, but none of this has me excited.
