I've been saying the Apple privacy stance is really a self-serving profit center for ages. Too many Apple fanboys haven't figured it out yet.
I know the internals of Google vastly better than Apple, since I have worked inside Google and know/knew many great people there. I emphasize "knew" because the flow of Googlers I know who left the company is increasing rapidly, as the best people see the writing on the walls or have just gotten fed up with Sundar's vision.
My real Google hero is Matt Cutts. He's a great guy and it was always fun to have an opportunity to sit and chat with him. He got out of Google years ago. I haven't talked to him lately but I can imagine what he'd think of today's Google.
