According to an <a href="http://www.apple.com" target="_blank">Apple</a> 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. </p><p><em></em></p>
