Here is the explanation for this position:
Mac is like Buddhism because of the way it constantly moves from one form to another, constantly trying to reach perfection, never straying from the path to nirvana. Mac is all about how it works, you don't need anything to go with it, the box has in it your keyboard and mouse, it has built-in iSight, and mic. The tower is itself, and all your programs come pre-installed. Buddhism is all about perfecting the self, achieving peace through non-violence and self-reliance.
PC is like Christianity, because it's all about fixing problems, "oh, I see you've sinned, confess and pay the church and you will have your sin wiped away." And if someone doesn't like the current quick fix, they are offered a different denomination, they go from Baptist to dell. It takes very little self-sacrifice to join the club, there is lots of customization options, and it only feels good if your friends join too.

My limited knowledge of religions limits me to the most popular ones, and so out of those, I thought that a rough parallel can be drawn from Mac to Buddhism and from PC to Christianity. Being atheist, I don't believe in either, but I prefer Buddhism because it didn't cause so much war.

I know I've been gone a while, you probably didn't notice, but neither did anyone else. There was no you before you.

In
my absence, I contemplated the format of my writings, a review style
blog, I realized, was unsustainable. To combat the stale feeling that I
had before I stopped, I will now be making some changes, and
experimenting with my medium.
