Apple Causes Religious Reaction In Brains of Fans (2 Viewers)

[Martin]

"In a recently screened BBC documentary called 'Secrets of the Superbrands', UK neuroscientists found that the brains of Apple fans are stimulated by images of Apple products in the same areas as those triggered by religious imagery in a person of faith. According to the scientists, this suggests that the big tech brands have harnessed, or exploit, the brain areas that have evolved to process religion."

I'm sure that's the case for any sort of product you happen to believe in and trust.

I bet you're saying that because you have an Apple.

I do have a Mac. Though for desktops I don't think I'd want a Mac.

Haha, just playing. Some Apple owners do seem smug as hell though, it's just a laptop/phone.

I don't know. There seems to be a lot more Apple "hate" than "smug love" (this thread for example ). I don't really care about the brand. I don't even own an Ipod. This Macbook is just a damn good product and after owning one, I will never own a PC again.

Sure, but what better case study?

Me likely. I can't put my glowing Apple logo down, though.

Steve Jobs is lord.

Amen.

I watched the programme, the test was to show an apple fan pictures of apple products and he had a positive reaction. Hardly startling information.

Unix is for thugs? Didn't know that.

Doesn't Mac pride itself on being Unix?
