This is awesome, I've never ponied up the cash to listen to the WWDC lectures before, and I'm glad that Apple is following Microsoft and Google's way of releasing videos free after the event

  Doesn't look free to me. Microsoft and Google don't require you to pay 99$ to watch their conference videos.

    There is a free account. It’s really hard to find. Here is the direct link: http://developer.apple.com/programs/register/ http://developer.apple.com/programs/register/ (– edit: argh! This is no sarcasm! It is really hard to find.)

Very nice. I remember them charging $500 for this last year. Does the WWDC NDA apply to these videos?

  From iTunes: "The content presented within the WWDC 2010 session videos and slides in Apple Confidential Information and is subject to the Registered Apple Developer Agreement.". So, yes.

    Hmm, creating a new developer account is like a 15-second process; I don't see any way they could possible enforce the NDA.

Kudos for making stuff accessible for free. Shame for requiring an Apple ID to just get to the Site and for not making it clear which type of account (free? paying?) you should create to have access to that content. Contrast that with Microsoft that have been making videos of events available online for free without requiring an account of any sort for years...

If it wasnt for Google I/O completely being released on Youtube and Microsoft doing the same thing, Apple would still charge money for this. I am writing this on my MBP, but I hate the fact that Apple always requires a competitor chasing them to be 'not that evil'.
