WWDC 2012 = “Fuck you, Google” [View all]
Starting with the opening gag with Siri doing stand-up comedy and continuing through to Apple’s new maps and Siri’s new features, there was an unmistakeable “Fuck you, Google” undertone to the whole keynote. Apple is forcing Google out of iOS. Even the Facebook integration feels like a “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” alliance.I’ve said it before and will say it again: Google made a mistake by deciding to oppose rather than ally with Apple on mobile.

Additionally, Apple integrated several 'lesser' media and social 'share' functions in Mountain Lion and iOS 6, with not a sign of Google properties.
Good.
