Apple's annual developer conference is taking place in San Francisco, CA on June 2-6, 2014. Most importantly for casual fans, the keynote address will be at 10AM PDT on Monday, June 2. Apple usually takes this opportunity to announce new versions of its operating systems, as well as any new hardware that its ready to introduce. This year we can expect iOS 8, Mac OS X 10.10, and then whatever goofy hardware rumors you want to believe (watches, home automation, TVs, etc.). The Beats acquisition will also likely be formally addressed. We don't anticipate any new iPhone or iPad models at this time, but stranger things have happened. However, those usually come in the September-October time frame.

Apple will be providing a live stream of the keynote for OS X, iOS, and Apple TV users to watch right here. Feel free to get mad about how much this sucks for Windows or Android users, but this seems to be the norm now. Someone usually posts a cross-platform compatible link that you can drop into VLC within a few minutes of the stream starting, so keep an eye out for that. If you can't do the stream thing and feel like following a live blog, then Anandtech, Engadget, and Arstechnica are usually the best around.

Those with Developer accounts: don't forget to do your backups today! It's iOS 8 beta and OS X 10.10 Developer Preview day tomorrow :dance:

I'm kinda thinking they might make the 10.10 DPs an open beta since they just recently opened up the seeding program.
That's extremely optimistic and unrealistic, I think. The "open beta" you're referring to does not get the same builds as developers or even the traditional invite-only Appleseed program. We only have one release to go on since the program started, but the open beta program only received a single 10.9.3 beta release late in the development cycle while developers received nine. 10.9.3's public beta didn't even keep up with the newer builds as it neared completion. Also, 10.9.4 is already being seeded to developers, while the public channel has received nothing. Apple's likely going to restrict the open beta program to more stable builds, so I don't think there's any chance of 10.10 DP1 being released to the public -- maybe the Release Candidate in a couple of months.

 I have to imagine we'll get a 4K Thunderbolt Display announcement tomorrow.

It's looking like it'll be 'Yosemite', judging by the banners going up at Moscone.

Maybe they'll do a half-year refresh to add it to more models?
Doubtful. Apple's likely gonna price their 4K display as a professional product not for general consumers, so restricting it to the 15" rMBP and Mac Pro for now makes sense to me. Same reason I think we'll see a 4K Thunderbolt Display for about a year before we see the iMac get the same panel.

First thought immediately... will we be able to record calls placed with our Mac?
Probably with a third-party app.

 Public beta is "summer" though, not today.

Holy crap. Yesterday I was pissed that I had to get an Apple phone since my android died out on me, but it looks like the conversion won't be all that stressful much anymore.
Just FYI none of these features will be available until like September

 Bad news: I think you're gonna need Bluetooth LE support for the Continuity stuff. I haven't seen an official confirmation yet, though.
