Submission + - Apple's Samsung statement reprimanded by UK court of appeal (guardian.co.uk) 6
Macthorpe writes: In the UK, Apple were previously ordered to add a statement to their website stating that Samsung did not copy their designs, following a previous case where this was ruled by the UK courts. However, today the same court revealed that Apple's statement is not good enough.
From the article:
The acknowledgement put up last week, linked from the home page by a tiny link, was deemed to be "non-compliant" with the order that the court had made in October. The court has now ordered it to correct the statement – and the judges, Lord Justice Longmore, Lord Justice Kitchin and Sir Robin Jacob, indicated that they were not pleased with Apple's failure to put a simpler statement on the site.
It appears the main objection is the statement is on a separate page and only linked from the hompage — and that the statement is buried in marketing blurb, and also put next to references to a case Apple won.

Not wishing to interrupt the bickering about whether children watching people fisting each other is a good or bad idea but you could try:
Squid + SquidGuard + Whatever lists you want from http://dsi.ut-capitole.fr/blacklists/
Not the easiest to set up but the lists are just plain text (with some regexs if you really want) so you can block/unblock what you want.
Or maybe Smoothwall: http://www.smoothwall.org/ might be easier, it will do this and much more besides.
You can all carry on now.

Windows is EXTREMELY secure because of its history of MASSIVE insecurity and the tens of thousands of viruses?
Microsoft logic at its finest.
