When you're trying to keep living costs as low as possible, having some Apple Store next to your home can be pure gold. Just think about this - you throw away your computer(it was an outdated Mac G4, anyway), so you can also discontinue your Internet subscription, along with the obvious electricity costs drop coming with this. Next, you hang around the Apple Store and use the computers on display there. You can use some portable apps on a USB stick to keep it safe, and this is it!
Oh, yeah, I know - it's not quite fair to do that, especially if you're going to come back on a daily basis to that store, and buy nothing, but who really cares about fairness these days? Let's admit it, this world is a jungle - it always has been this way, so it's all about survival of the fittest, nothing more.
Social websites can turn into real time wasters, I am sure you know that, especially if you're someone else's boss... Since Facebook is getting more and more popular with each week, it's obvious various companies have been targeting it to be introduced in their blacklist, and so did Apple.
A few years ago, they started blocking access to MySpace, when those using it made others stand in line and watch them wasting time(as a personal opinion - MySpace sucks), and now we see Facebook banned in all Apple Stores. Ta-taa!
According to an Apple Store employee, interviewed by ArsTechinca, "It's just trying to find a balance between letting people try out the computers, but not tying them up so others can try them as well." So far, so good, but it seems there are more sites blacklisted by Apple, although no such list is currently public.
This really made me curious, so... do you have any idea about other sites banned in Apple Stores, except MySpace and Facebook? If you do, please go ahead and drop a comment below. Thanks in advance!
