"[anyone] who thinks about it for more than a few seconds would realize how demeaning that is to people who LIVE their religious experience"
Oh sorry, I forgot having a different viewpoint is banned on teh intarwebz. Seriously man, I ask again, who made you the boss of what is and is not a religious experience? Will there be Denmark-cartoons-scale rioting if I said that Final Fantasy VII was a religious experience for me? Of course not. Someone who has had the kind of experience you speak of would have strong enough faith that it wouldn't matter what you, me, or anyone on/. says.
It's a bit rich that you get to decide what is, and what is not a religious experience.
Who's more of a loser? The person with enough apathy to sit here and say that someone is "pathetic" for "thinking that a video game is a religious experience", or the people out there enjoying themselves, watching something they think is a bit cool?
"...and when the fastest Vista notebook PC World has ever tested is an Apple MacBook Pro, there's something deeply wrong with the universe."
Why does that have anything to do with Vista? Isn't that just an indication that Apple make great computers?
"If it took 9 months of driver development and OS improvements - then it shouldn't have been released 9 months early."

I'd say he's more upset at the fact that the biopharmaceutical companies are allowed to hold your health to ransom, even when they utilise YOUR resources to further that stranglehold.
