Apple bans MySpace in retail stores

Apple has confirmed a ban on MySpace in its retail stores, according to crave. The online social networking medium allows members to communicate with one another, post photographs, and more. Apple store employees reported some visitors lingering for "hours" as they took photos of themselves with the display MacBooks and uploaded them to their MySpace accounts, effectively denying other shoppers the ability to test drive the small notebooks. "It is especially troublesome at the flagships and high-volume stores, and for a while there was no official word on how to deal with it," said one Apple Store employee, referring to loitering MySpace users. An official Apple representative did say, however, that MySpace is currently the only site blocked.
