otoh; google has a bit more of a crack/smack dealer marketing approach. (with a twist.)

...everyone wants customers. Some want customers to thrive, others want customers to be caught-up in an inescapable spinning vortex.

ANyway, Apple has a bit of a vortex; clearly it a 'shiny bobble with cute games' vortex. But that is not nearly as insidious as tracking everybody's every move. ....or giving people the illusion of being an unbiased search engine.
