Apple Causes Religious Reaction In Brains of Fans

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the pope-jobs-won't-lie dept.

satuon writes "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."

    Actually the haters surpass the fanbois in terms of religious fervor, by far. The proof is in the discussions of the Apple-related stories. Nothing but a bitchfest every time.

    The most vocal atheists are invariably unconscious reactionary religious fruitcakes. Atheism has terrible PR.
