They are talking about financial ties to terrorists. Though the article is a little vague about how those companies were used to support terror, it mentions that the Somalian Government is looking into the companies in question. The two companies responsible for the telephone connection in Somalia (AT&T, British Telecom) are from the two major players in the coalition against terrorism. How can they not comply and still be considered patriotic?
IMHO Apple should be flattered that so many people like their GUI enough to make look-alikes on systems other than MacOS... btw, aren't a lot of non-technical new users to computers interested in the way a computer looks almost as much as how good it runs? Isn 't Apple using asthetics in other areas to lure customers? This speaks to me as free advertising in a sense...
