When I'm shopping for computer gear for my business I hate having to wait for some kid to get finished updating their status to "at the Apple store".<br>Apple wants to make sure that many people can try the platform, so it's only logical that they'll try to keep out the people that use it as a free internet café. Big deal. Why would this be news? Because it's Facebook? I'm sure there's a ton of sites on the blocked list, most of which we'll never hear about. Works for me!

Those people that cannot check their accounts in Apple stores will find other places to do so. The traffic will be the same. Apple might lose some customers though. <br>_____________<br> Mathew Farney - <a rel="follow" href="http://www.123-reg.co.uk/web-hosting/" rel="nofollow">Web Hosting</a> Somehow I don't think that Facebook will be affected too much.

This time, Facebook is getting the boot. As of this week, the ubiquitous site, like Myspace before it, will no longer be accessible on computers in the Apple Store. The retailers have become impromptu Internet cafés at malls across the country and we know firsthand the frustration of waiting for an available computer behind a loitering Facebooker. Therefore, we applaud Apple’s move to limit time-wasting — as long as they keep Gmail available, that is.

I love how people want to jump on Apple if they do anythign that is even remotely "uncool". It's a business and they are selling computers...not just their brand. Get over it. Besides, who really cares? I don't get pissed at the grocery store because they won't let me open up a box of cookies and sample it before I buy it. Meh...I'm boring myself already. This is a non-story. This makes total sense. I love how people want to jump on Apple if they do anythign that is even remotely “uncool”.
