WWDC has never been about freebies that I can remember. I was just explaining to a colleague that WWDC was never really a marketing exercise (beyond the keynote). (Obviously it IS a marketing exercise, but it's classy enough not to seem like one.) It was devs talking to devs honestly and -- post Steve security aside -- openly. (I attended for years and the only freebie I ever got was an iSight camera. I'm told I won a raffle for a (transparent) Newton but I wasn't there and so they drew a different winner. No, I haven't gotten over that.)
