"We're live from the 2012 Apple Worldwide Developer's Conference (WWDC) at the Moscone Center in downtown San Francisco, where Apple CEO Tim Cook takes the stage Monday morning to write the latest chapter in his company's history. What that chapter will contain: no one yet knows for sure.\nOne thing we know Cook will unveil \u2014 the banners have been up since Friday, and it was a pretty poor secret to start with \u2014 is the latest version of the iPhone and iPad operating system, iOS 6. Exactly what new features the new OS will have are still shrouded in mystery, but best guesses include Facebook integration, much improvement to the Safari browser and the voice recognition agent Siri, and Apple's own 3D maps app to replace Google Maps as standard. \nBeyond that, Cook will give us an update on Mac OS X Mountain Lion \u2014 including when we can expect to download the beast. But will there be an updated lineup of Macs? A peek at the fifth generation iPhone or rumored iPad mini? Or will Cook, in his third launch event, continue to play it cautious and leave any new gadget announcements to the fall?\nOne way to find out: follow along with us in our liveblog. We'll get started a before Cook does, so feel free to jump in with your questions \u2014 and let us know in the comments what you're waiting to hear. The keynote begins at 1 p.m. ET.\nUPDATE: Apple has revealed a new line of MacBooks. Siri gets a whole lot smarter in iOS 6 and will be available on the new iPad. And Mountain Lion got a whole slew of new features. \nCheck out the slideshow below the live blog for photos from the event.\n\n\n\nLive from WWDC 2012 Keynote\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome to WWDC\nThe Worldwide Developers Conference kicked off Monday, June 11.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKeynote Sign\nA sign for the keynote, given by Apple CEO Tim Cook, on Monday morning.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWWDC Signs\nSigns promoting Apple products hung around the convention center.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTim Cook\nApple CEO Tim Cook starts off the keynote.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWWDC\nThis is the 23rd year of the Worldwide Developer Conference. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApp Stats\na]Cook said that 400 million have credit cards synced with their iTunes accounts.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\niPad Apps\n225,000 Apps have been developed just for iPad.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApps Taking Over\nCook also said 30 billion apps have been sold overall.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWWDC Announcments\nMacbooks and Mac Airs, Mountain Lion and iOS will be discussed during the keynote.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew Macbook Airs\nPhil Schiller announced improvements to the Macbook Air.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIvy Bridge\nThe Macbook Air would have Intel's new Ivy Bridge processors.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhil Schiller\nSchiller, SVP of Global Marketing, was in charge of the Macbook announcements.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore Storage\nThe Macbook Air updates will have up to 512 GB of flash memory storage, as much space as many larger laptops.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFaceTime\nThe Airs will have a 720p FaceTime camera.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11-inch Air\nStats for the new Air compared to its predecessor.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13-inch Air\nThe new 13-inch Macbook Air compared to its previous version.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMacbook Update\nThe original Macbook Pros are getting an update too, with new graphics cards and Ivy Bridge processors.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew Mystery Computer\nSchiller hinted a new mystery computer that was Apple's \"greatest laptop ever\".\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll New Macbook Pro\nThe new machine is called the \"All New Macbook Pro\".\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPorts\nA diagram of the ports available on the new Macbook Pro.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMacbook Lineup\nAll new Macbooks being made available by Apple today.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll New MBP\nThe newest Macbook Pro is available in the Apple Store on June 11.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDemo Model\nSchiller shows off the thinner, lighter, brighter Macbook Pro on stage.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSuper Thin\nThe newest MBP is less than five pounds, an ease on all our backs.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLightest Pro Ever\nApple calls it the \"lightest pro ever\" -- and it still boasts a 15-inch display.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRetina Display\nThe beautiful technology from iPhone and iPad screens has made its way to the new Macbook Pro.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSo Many Pixels\nThe MBP has greater than 5 million pixel density.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOptimized for Retina\nApps like Aperature have been updated to take advantage of the MacBook Pro's new display.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImproved iCloud\nOS X Mountain Lion, Apple's next  desktop operating system,will bring better integration with iCloud and improved syncing between home and mobile devices.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCraig Federighi\nFederighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, shows off Mountain Lion's features.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApple WWDC068\nUpdates to iCloud and OX Mountain Lion include the Reminders app, now available on the Mac.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImproved Safari web browser\nSafari now includes a Chrome-like omnibar which lets users search and type URLs in the same area in the browser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\niCloud Tabs\nThe new feature brings tab syncing across your devices.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPower Nap\nStay up to date while your Mac is asleep.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGame Center comes to Mountain Lion\nApple's iOS gaming platform will also be available on desktops.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCross device compatibility\nGame Center on the Mac will have the same access to your favorite games as well as scores, friends list and achievements.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApple WWDC078\nCraig Federighi,Apple's OS X chief, shows off what Game Center can do.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n200 Updates\nAll told, Mountain Lion will include 200 small and large improvements.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExtended support for China\nChinese editions of OS X and iOS both received updates. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBaidu support\nChinese services like Baidu are now available system-wide.
