Roughly an hour after the end of the keynote at its Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple has posted a video of the event on its website. The Keynote should be made available soon on Apple's YouTube channel, as well as its Apple Keynotes Podcast on the iTunes Store. [Podcast links: Keynotes, Keynotes in HD, Keynotes in 1080p HD]
Apple did not broadcast the keynote live, so the video is an opportunity for viewers to see the introduction of OS X Mountain Lion, iOS 6, the new Retina display-equipped MacBook Pro, and Apple's new Maps app.

This my friends is a great example of a troll. Please don't respond to him.
Zzzzz...Windows fanboys bash anything that's over $400 and isn't made of cheap plastic.
Who cares what they think?
I'm going to regret feeding the troll, but here's what I disagree with:
Facebook: Where are you getting this? Most of the people I know use Facebook exclusively, and the ones that don't use both Facebook and Twitter.
Siri: Its a huge improvement. After the ability to launch apps, the only thing it really needs is the ability to change settings.
Maps: How is Google Maps that much better? Apple now has turn by turn directions, so that advantage is gone.
Retina Macbook: I specced out a similar machine: the HP Spectre. For a worse display and lack of a dedicated GPU, the new Macbook is only 100 bucks more expensive. The new macbook has the fantastic display (which is probably the most expensive part of the computer), and only has SSDs as options. Its really not a bad deal.
