God is a Mac user
This week's TIME Magazine features an interesting Essay on page 103. Evan Eisenberg checks God's email. If you click the pic above you can see the full-sized image I scanned in, which offers even more insight into God's computing habits. I knew the big guy was a Mac user!
God uses Mail.app, obviously, to stay in touch. He listens to iTunes for inspiration, and keeps Google Earth open to keep an eye on his Creation. Safari is God's browser of choice and he's apparently a football fan (Go Saints!). Looking at the exposed areas of God's desktop we see that he digs George Burns (but Windows Media Player??) and keeps tabs on election results. We're not sure about the rest of God's hardware, but his display is Apple Cinema all the way. What surprises me most is that God uses Quark!
As Erica said, when we got the tip, "This would certainly explain why the demographic skewed 'old' in that survey." Indeed!
Thanks, Keenan!

I hadn't noticed the lack of Spotlight icon till you pointed that out. Then again, if I anyone could remove the annoying Spotlight icon from the menubar, it would be Him! (there are ways, but they kill the rounded corner along with the icon)

You Mac users are just a little full of yourselves aren't you?

I guess that would be the reason us Mac users have a 'God' complex....

God uses Adobe Reader and Window Media Player? He must have eternal patience for those two to load.

I'm starting a new sect that believes God uses Camino instead of Safari.

Ironically, Richard Dawkins actually is a Mac user.
Which means he probably wrote his latest book, "God-is-a-delusion-dreamt-up-by-all-you-superstitious-flat-earth-fanboys," on a Mac.
So it's good to see both ends of the belief spectrum represented on a Mac.

2 god stories? Don't we now need 2 tooth-fairy, 2 santa, and 2 unicorn stories to give equal time to the imaginary beings?

You'd think if it was God's desktop, he'd be working in at least Leopard (maybe Lion or Cougar or Lynx)- could this foreshadow s/thing to come?

Why is G-d's desktop so messy? That's a Windows user's desktop. I imagine G-d's desktop showing nothing but a hard drive, and one with a nice icon at that.
