APPLE STORE MANAGERS are so miffed at kids loitering in their shop that they are enforcing a series of measures designed to get them to sling their hooks.

According to Tuaw.com, Apple is furious that kids are coming into their stores getting their greasy mitts all over the pastel machinery.

Number one attraction is using the store's bandwidth to run their Myspace page or check their email.

Apparently, the Apple has decided to block access to MySpace and other similar sites in a bid to get the kids out of the shop.

The big idea is that they will come back with their parents who will promptly take out a mortgage on the house for a new MacBook.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
