I'm a former Apture developer/current Google employee (but I don't necessarily speak for either one). It's worth noting that Apture won't actually be shuttered until likely sometime in January (probably around the 10th). We had originally planned on Dec 20th, but we weren't confident that we had gotten the word out to everyone who uses our product (most notably people who use our plugin).
