Apple has confirmed they have officially blocked MySpace from all Apple Store demo computers. While this really isn’t much of a surprise, it brings up the question of who will be next to be blocked.

Nearly 2 million people visit Apple stores every week,” the statement read. “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.

Many of the stores had already set up machines that could only access Apple approved sites prior to the block so they were always available for demonstrations by Apple Store employees. I was in the San Francisco Apple Store last week, mid-day during the week, and the computers were all in use by young people, none of which were there to test out the computers, but were all messing around for hours at a time. We waited for nearly 45 minutes before we could get access to a computer. While I don’t think the MySpace ban will slow down the teen traffic, it will be interesting to see what further bans we will see in attempt to open up public computers.
