Apple is gearing up the publicity machine for the World Wide Developer's Conference (WWDC), and has kicked things off with this year's "Getting Started Bundle."

The Getting Started Bundle is designed to entice new developers into joining the Mac platform. The bundle includes hardware discounts, a ticket to the WWDC itself, tech support, and much more. From the WWDC Web site:
