Apple is in the process of blocking the popular social-networking site from the Macs in Apple Stores because MySpace users were taking up too much time on the machines, according to a crave report.
A statement from Apple Friday confirmed this. “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.”
According to an Apple representative, the News Corp.-owned MySpace is the only site that has been blocked, notes crave.
