Facebook Banned at Apple Stores! (or maybe not)

"Despite reports that the Internet-enabled Macs at Apple's retail stores aren't allowing customers to log on to Facebook, Apple says it doesn't limit access to the popular social-networking site."

Several sites wrote about the supposed storewide ban on Facebook , but apparently it isn't an official company policy. According to an Apple spokesman, they use Facebook as part of their demo for iLife '09, so why would they ban it? But there are reports of various stores not allowing it, which I personally don't see as a problem. If you are going to buy something and want to test it out, by all means use it and see how it performs. Don't expect to hang out there for hours like you are in some Internet cafe. If you want to browse the Internet and don't have a computer, go to the library.
