Has Apple Banned MySpace in their retail Stores?
We're getting reports that some Apple retail stores have blocked the popular social networking site MySpace in order to reduce loitering in Apple Stores.
We're not sure how true this is but we'll go to one of the local stores today to confirm it. We're curious what they're using to block MySpace at the stores. In the meantime, if you're reading this at an Apple Store and you are indeed blocked from MySpace, you may want to try a proxy site to get around it. Something like this just might work!
UPDATE 9:56am HST: Yep it's true. MySpace banned in all Apple Retail locations!
From News.com:
A statement from Apple Friday confirmed this. "Nearly 2 million people visit Apple stores every week," the statement read. "We want to provide everyone a chance to test-drive a Mac, so we are no longer offering access to MySpace in our stores." According to an Apple representative, the News Corp.-owned MySpace is the only site that has been blocked.
