People like John Gruber, who have close relationships to Apple and are - in theory - also under the same NDA openly talk about betas and previews on their blogs, podcasts and so on.
(Just saying this to support what you said)
- workbench 13y agoIt seems the have the NDA but if they actually don't want you to talk about something then they specifically tell you. For example when they demoed Lion I think it was to Gruber and a few select journalists they must have used something beyond the standard NDA.
- arrrg 13y agoPeople like John Gruber have long been talking about unreleased software from Apple under the assumption that any information that is public is fair game (i.e. if you talk about something that you could have read on Macrumors there is no problem). I’m not sure whether that would actually hold up legally – but that’s the theory. (Also, Apple doesn’t seem to be very interested in actually stopping sites like Macrumors – which are filled to the brim with every tiny detail about the iOS and OS X DP – from actually publishing that. So I guess they are even less interested in going after people who do not even show videos or screenshots.)
