Bias = you're for a side because you are influenced by it. "I am biased for AMD CPUs because I have one."
Prejudice = You have an initial impression of something and hold it against it. "I'm prejudice against Islands (restaurant in California), I went there once and it took forever to get food."
I am not so confident in my "prejudice" answer, maybe someone else can explain better.

"Prejudice" = pre- judgement. You have already made judgements about someone or something before fully knowing about them/ it.

I would say-
A bias is based on a favorable experience. "I am biased towards Osaka (over Nagoya) because Osaka has better beer."
A prejudice is based on a negative impression (not experience), and is not supported by reason. "I am prejudiced against dogs because I heard that they eat their poop."
