They had nothing to announce. Technology is not always going to run on a set schedule. The rumors are that Apple is behind on development on iOS that they have pulled people off OSX development to finish up.

Pulling Devs off OSX could explain why there hasn’t been a peep about the next edition of OSX even though Apple told reporters that OSX was on a yearly release cycle as mentioned in this article:

Mountain Lion also represents a dramatic speedup in the pace of OS X updates: Apple says it’ll be issuing yearly updates from now on. That’s partially to match the breakneck pace of iOS development, but also to capitalize on the growing popularity of the Mac in general — Mac sales have outgrown the general PC market for something like six years now, and Apple says it’s investing heavily in the platform to build on that trend.

60 Billion stock buyback? Apple is probably super happy the stock price has been decreasing.
