So remember those times when you had to kick yourself for forgetting to save your term paper and then the electricity went out or some other catastrophic event took out your computer or laptop? Well, Apple’s new Mac OS X Lion is here to save the day. It’s added a new Auto Save and Resume feature.
Revealing OSX Lion on the first day of WWDC in California today, Apple’s Phil Schiller started down a list of 10 features that would essentially outline the breadth of the new Mac operating system. He began with Multi-Touch Gestures, a system that would expand on what Apple’s trackpads already had in place. With multiple fingers you’ll now be able to tap to zoom, pinch, two-finger swipe, scroll by pulling (much in the same way you do so on a tablet.) The next feature, these features coming on QUICK by the way, was Full-Screen Applications.
Apple’s WWDC 2011 keynote has just kicked off and the first topic of the day is Mac OS X Lion. Looks like they may be going in the same order as the icons are shown in their big event banner. The Mac OS X update has so far included new mult-touch gestures, full screen apps, and a new feature called Mission Control. However, there are also some major changes in OS X Lion for the Mac App Store.
This year on the 6th of June, here in sunny San Francisco at the Worldwide Developers Conference 2011 (WWDC), we saw no less than Steve Jobs step on stage with his classic jeans and sweatshirt outfit. “We’ve got an awesome morning together, this morning. Thank you for coming so much.” Steve was glad to welcome every one of the 5,200 attendees to the conference, a number that sold out in under 2 hours. He goes on to confirm exactly what we’ve been expecting: “We’ve got some great stuff to talk about: OS X Lion, iOS 5, and some kind of interesting new cloud stuff.”

We're less than ninety minutes out from Apple's WWDC 2011 keynote - which we'll be liveblogging over at http://live.slashgear.com/ - but the leaks keep on coming. According to This is my next's source, the supposedly leaked iOS 5 notifications photo (shown here) isn't real, but it does show pretty much how Apple will be doing things in the updated mobile OS. Meanwhile, there's also some surprise messaging news that could leave RIM in hot water, along with lock screen tweaks.

Today’s the big day for Apple fans waiting for Steve Jobs to take the stage and finally reveal all the “magical” details of the much hyped iCloud. Unlike the competition, Amazon Cloud Player and Google Music Beta, Apple has actually secured licensing deals with music labels and could offer up something much more comprehensive and appealing. Add to that iTune’s already secure first place lead in the music download arena, makes it one cloudy day for rivals.
One of Apple's biggest changes with iOS 5 is expected to be how the mobile OS handles notifications: out with the clunky pop-up boxes, and hopefully in with something a lot less attention-stealing and capable of dealing with the dozens of alerts apps are throwing up these days. TechCrunch spotted what's tipped to be the new system, flagging up a couple of new Twitter mentions.

Apple's WWDC 2011 opening keynote is just hours away - don't forget to join us for the SlashGear liveblog! - but that hasn't stopped the leaks, rumors and speculation. iCloud is already on the agenda, and according to a Cult of Mac source it's not just a cloud music service but a way to put your entire Time Machine backups onto a new, intelligent Time Capsule. What's currently a basic NAS will, they suggest, get an Apple A4 or A5 processor upgrade as the Airport Express is tipped to, and be able to host users' Home folders and make them available to any Mac OS X or iOS device.

WWDC 2011 kicks off tomorrow, Monday June 6, and while for developers it’s the beginning of a week packed full of coding, knocking heads with Apple’s engineers, and generally sharing in the iOS/OS X bonhomie, for everyone else it’s another Steve Jobs keynote and the promise of some significant platform news. SlashGear will be liveblogging the opening WWDC keynote tomorrow morning, kicking off 10am PST, where Jobs is expected to cover iOS 5.0, Mac OS X Lion, and the debut of iCloud.
Recent reports of an Apple AirPort device stock shortage in stores have suggested that a revamped version is getting ready to ship. It's also been tipped that the new AirPort may feature new hardware to help it expand beyond basic networking duties. This change is also believed to be linked to Apple's new iCloud service.

Apple's new iCloud service may cost users $25/year - after a whet-your-appetite free trial - according to the latest rumors, but the company itself has reportedly had to open its wallet a whole lot wider in order to keep the labels happy. As well as what's said to be between a 58- and 70-percent share of iCloud music revenue, Apple has apparently agreed to between $100m and $150m in advance payments to the big four labels.
