Steve Jobs' Last Words

"Being a Winner in a Free Computing OS Mission means to adopt a Commercial like Strategy. Transcending Duality in Oneness and so dispensing both Free and Non Free Software. Cause evangelizing Freedom in a Non Free World is like keeping a Trojan Horse. Hallelujah! :)"

What can theoretically Save the World from a Blind and Fast Burning Self-destruction???
The Immediate and Humble Mass Conversion to the Spiritual Way!
Because Earth & Nature has been Ravaged without Pity by an Unsatisfiable, and Greedy Quest for the Accumulation of EPHEMERAL Power$$$.

"The Divine Saint Dynamics is Everlasting Oneness, All the Virtues & Excellence... Purity, Spirituality, Innocence, Imperturbableness, Trusting, Guiltless, Altruist, Sharing and Emptiness.
Instead the Devilish Human one is Ephemeral Differentiation, All Lacks & Troubles... Inpurity, Spiritless, Perverse, Furious, Doubting, Inculpative, Egoist, Greedy and Monetary."
