This space is MySpace—unless you’re in an Apple Store

KoPapplestore.jpgHaving spent the past two Saturdays in an Apple Store (feast or famine, I tells ‘ya), I can’t say that it ever occurred to me to randomly explore cyberspace while price-checking FM transmitters, or helping a friend buy his first Mac. It certainly never occurred to me to check out that MySpace thing that all the cool kids are talking about. It looks like I won’t have the chance to now, at least from an Apple Store: it’s now banned from the retail store computers.

Apple released a statement last week, explaining, “Nearly 2 million people visit Apple stores every week. We want to provide everyone a chance to test-drive a Mac, so we are no longer offering access to MySpace in our stores.” MySpace is the only site that’s been blocked so far, according to CNET.
