It appears Microsoft's co-founder is a big fan of things that sink. Obviously an avid Beatles fan, Allen's latest toy is a fully functional 40-foot yellow submarine (not to be confused with a 40-foot Yello Sub, which would be an even worse investment). He's now a member of a small, exclusive clique of ultra-rich underwater explorers; about 100 personal submarines are floating around our oceans. Hopefully it came with better drivers than Vista (zing!). [Paul Allen's New Sub via Valleywag]

Pfft. We all live in a yellow submarine.
hey Paul why don't you unfuck Charter Communications instead of hiding 20,000 leagues under the sea?
sorry, thought i was at The Consumerist.
I don't believe this guy has worked for MS in many years. He owns a few sports teams nowadays though.
This is better than the Bionic Dolphin sold a few years ago in Hammacher Schlemmer.
That device never got Coast Guard approval though...how the hell did he...oh wait a minute I forgot...HE'S A BILLIONAIRE AND GETS WHATEVER HE WANTS.
correct me if i'm wrong, but hasn't he owned subs for years? Ever since taking collection of Octopus years ago, which has it's own sub?
BURN!
What happens when this small, exclusive clique of ultra-rich underwater explorers turns on the masses and decides that domination is "the final frontier"? AHHH! --grabs duct tape and large trash can for DIY submarine project--
Must be wonderful to spend millions of dollars on toys.
Seems nice enough.
But I wouldn't pay $12Million unless Ringo comes with.
I'd vastly prefer a Yello submarine to "Yellow Submarine"
ROFLMFAO better drivers than vista.......... >.>
Well he's filthy rich he should give me 24m and i'll make him a super computer o.O thats yellow just like his submarine.
