The renowned Ph.D., physicist and systems theorist, Fritjof Capra [more] wrote in 1975 in one of his books, The Tao of Physics, that the paradigm in which we in the western world live in, contains a view of the universe which is very “mechanical”: We consist of building blocks (DNA), life is a competitive struggle, [...]

Now and then I get these words when talking to others about Apple Computers. I’m not going into the intricate details of why I choose Apple as the manufacturer of my personal computer, except for the fact that, apart from the other things I like about Apple, Apple as a corporation, is a fairly [...]
