Over the last two weeks, the discussions surrounding Apple and Google have me wondering whether both companies have completely lost their collective minds. The US government now has a series of investigations surrounding both firms, ranging from collusion between them, to Apple pulling Google Voice off the iPhone. To be clear, this is like trying to find out if the companies were working together closely as criminals, or whether Google is Apple’s kick toy.
At Black Hat, one of the large security conferences where Microsoft is typically the whipping boy, Apple was front and center, with stories of potentially catastrophic problems on every product but the low-end iPods. Apple’s response to these, apparently, was not to return calls.
