Hmm Apple vs Google? I dislike Apple but I hate Google. Google is a lot more dangerous and they have shown in the past they are no strangers to censoring their own search engine to sway opinion in a direction they favour. Don't do evil? Well maybe Apples motto is Don't do bullshit which is exactly what Googles motto really is.
Do you really want Google to control so much information about your lives? Especially given they are incredibly hypocritical. See this:

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Google Inc. has blacklisted all CNET reporters for a year, after the popular technology news website published personal information of one of Google's founders in a story about growing privacy concerns for the Internet search engine, according to a CNET statement.
CNET on Friday reported "Google representatives have instituted a policy of not talking with CNET News reporters until July 2006 in response to privacy issues raised by a previous story." That story, by reporter Elinor Mills ran under the headline "Google balances privacy, reach."
Google spokesman David Krane told CNN the company declined comment.
The CNET story, dated July 14, focused on privacy concerns since Google is amassing such enormous amounts of data about people. It reported that some analysts fear it is becoming a great risk to privacy, because it would be a tempting target for hackers, "zealous government investigators, or even a Google insider who falls short of the company's ethics," the article said.
To underscore its point about how much personal information is available, the CNET report published some personal information about Google's CEO Eric Schmidt -- his salary; his neighborhood, some of his hobbies and political donations -- all obtained through Google searches.
Schmidt is officially Google's chief champion and defender, and has publicly said that there has to be a trade-off between privacy concerns and functionality. He has brought up Google's corporate motto, "Don't Be Evil" in those defenses.
Just last week, a different technology changed its mind about cutting its ties with a Wall Street analyst.
See, they don't care about your privacy but when it comes to their own they defend it. Microsoft may have a monopoly on opperating systems but its nowhere near as dangerous as someone who has a monopoly on online search and can control what information you see.
Tease.
