It’s time for me to travel to the place I always prefer: way out on a limb.
My Apple credentials are sound. I bought my first Macintosh in early 1984. I worked at Apple headquarters for several years in the late 1980s. When did I buy my first iPhone? The day it came out. First iPad? The day it came out. I even wrote a few books about the Macintosh. And some of you know the videos I’ve done about that Silicon Valley deity, Mr. Steven Paul Jobs. So I don’t have any anti-Apple ax to grind.
I’ve been looking for this clip for years (not every day, but from time to time) and I finally found it – – one of the funniest sketches ever from SNL. Enjoy.
Do you have an iPhone? Do you like to look at residential properties? Do you like reading rhetorical questions? Then I need your help!
Seriously, though, I have been hard at work on a new app for the iPhone which is in the earliest stages of testing. If you are interesting in helping me out on it (and, again, you need an iPhone and be willing to run it through the paces and email me your thoughts and feedback), I’d love for you to participate.
All I need is your UDID of your iPhone (or iPad, for that matter, which is even a more fun way to experience the app). Just fire this URL up on your i-device:
And email the code to tim@socialtrade.com
Leaving a comment below (“Hey, Tim! I’m interested”) will do you no good. Just follow the above instructions. Oh, one other thing – – it helps if you live in an INTERESTING neighborhood (e.g. lots of cool houses). If you’re in Tracy, California, and every single house looks the same – – sorry, no thank you.
And if you think there’s something nefarious I can do with that code, errr, no, I can’t. I just need it to get this beta-version product to allow itself to function on your iThing. Thank you!
