Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Mezzanine!

Won't you please take your seats and silence your cell phones?

Daring Fireball Productions, in association with the Daring Fireball Company LLC,

is delighted to welcome you to a Daring Fireball presentation of the talk show live from WWDC 2016!

And now, won't you please welcome your host, John Gruber!

Thank you Paul. I actually needed that reminder, my cell phone was not on silent.

Thank you Mike.

I will start by thanking our sponsors. This is a fifth year actually we've been doing, I've been doing this show at least,

fourth time here at Mezzanine. And I think that MailChimp has been sponsoring our bar all along,

and if not, it's at least as far back as I remember.

Just in case it isn't clear, the bar is on-house, it is on MailChimp. If you guys don't know, they are in email newsletters,

like my friend Ben Thompson's Stratiquary, goes after MailChimp. They also have a bunch of new features,

stuff that integrates with online stores and integration, just about any online store platform that you might be familiar with,

and then you can get your customers to get email when products that they are interested are available,

or whatever, great company. If you need to send email, go to MailChimp.com.

And please, let's hear it for them for the OpenBomb.

Also back with us for the fourth consecutive year as a sponsor of the show is Microsoft.

And at four years, it's not even like, whoa, that's weird, Microsoft's sponsoring.

Now, it's like awesome, and it makes total sense. They have this website. It's going to give you so much more information than I have time to give you now.

Any dev. Any app.com. That's the message they are trying to give that any developer, if you are working on mobile or the web,

for any type of app, if you need cloud services, it's now called the Azure app service. If you need that sort of stuff, go check it out.

The website is so much information. Here's a funny thing. They had the same website last year, but instead of any dev. Any app.com, I said, any app. Any dev.com.
