The iOS 6 NDA Cheatsheet
This year I decided it would be helpful to put together a cheatsheet by going through the public websites and keynote video and collect all the topics that are publicly displayed. I can then talk with some freedom about these topics. Collecting all the topics on one place will hopefully help keep me clear on what I can talk about.
If it wasn’t in the keynote, or isn’t on the website, don’t write about it.

On Paying to Cover WWDC
The way I figure it, there are three ways to cover WWDC:
- Re-blog whatever live blog you follow
- Get invited as press by Apple
- Buy a ticket and cover it from the inside, as much as the NDA allows
The first way is the way I’ve always done it. I’ve never been to WWDC, let alone as invited press.
There are reporters whose publications pay for their ticket to the conference itself, so they can blog the keynote live.

The Loop Turns 3
It’s hard to believe, but three years ago today I started The Loop.

Here’s to many more, Jim and Peter.
