Apple has announced that it will be discussing iOS 5, Mac OS X Lion and iCloud at next week's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) to be held at the facility. Steve Jobs will be delivering the keynote on Monday, June 6th. Apple has been wrapping up deals with music labels and publishers to allow users to stream purchased music to their computers and other devices using the service, and has also been reported to be racing to include movie and TV content as well.

Thanks @justmattyg.
