I came home one day from school after being chased by kids singing โYellow Submarineโ, and I didn't understand why. It just seemed surreal: why are they singing that song to me?

Dhani HarrisonIf you were the first person ever to design an application for the iPhone and you patented it, you would be very, very better off than we are right now, you know?
