Apple's developer support comes in two flavors: insider & outsider.
If you are an outsider you will find out important info at least
6 months after insiders.  You will never be seeded with anything.
The only thing to do is to try to find some area of development that
does not require direct competition with an insider ( you have to GUESS
about this of course, because you will not be told ) and work as best
you can.  My experience with ordinary (outsider-level) developer
support is that I find things out ang get copies of important software
about 2 weeks before they are generally available to the public. At best.
I hope this doesn't sound bitter, because I don't mean it that way --
insiders got to be insiders because they are BIG or have a track record
of "important" Mac developments.  It is kind-of a "job needs experience/
experience only from job" bind, but that's the way life is.  Good luck.
