Tim CookGood morning! Apple is going to dominate the news this week with its developer's conference in San Francisco, so let's get going with the headlines:

1. Today, Apple kicks off its  annual developer conference, WWDC, in San Francisco at 10 a.m. local time. It will livestream a keynote to preview new software for the Mac and the iPhone. It's also going to have some sort of new hardware, but don't expect something like the iWatch. Here's the big picture when it comes to iPhone vs. Android market share.

2. Apple officially has a new CFO today. Luca Maestri succeeded Peter Oppenheimer in the role. Longtime PR chief Katie Cotton has left, too.

3. One of the founders of the copyright-violating file-sharing website Pirate Bay has been arrested in southern Sweden. Peter Sunde had been wanted by Interpol since 2012 after being sentenced in Sweden to prison and fined for breaching copyright laws.

4. T-Mobile CEO John Legere spoke to Business Insider. Here's a deep-dive on his plans to turn T-Mobile around.

5. Google plans to spend more than $1 billion on a fleet of satellites to extend Internet access to unwired regions of the globe, the Wall Street Journal reports. The project will start with 180 small, high-capacity satellites orbiting the earth at lower altitudes than traditional satellites.
