Apple has updated their MacBook Pro line without even taking down the Apple online store, just as the rumour blogs predicted a few weeks ago. Also just like the rumour blogs said, only small CPU and GPU bumps here. A slightly faster CPU, a slightly faster GPU, and that's just about it.
Apple has also made the "Celebrating Steve" video publically available, depicting just how Apple said goodbye to their co-founder.
