It was created by Steve Jobs from Apple. It is a take off on the very famous Kerouac quote from On The Road...<BR/>“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”<BR/><BR/>Just thought you should know.I have immersed myself in intense Kerouac studies for years.
