I wouldn't even say it's Apple users. It seems to me that almost all the negativity towards Google comes from sensationalist tech bloggers. They'll raise the fear flag whenever they find an opportunity for more pageviews. Google just happen to be a good punch bag since they literally make the news with a significant new product/update every single week. Apple users just happen to be an important part of their target target audience. But looking at the big picture. Sensationalist tech bloggers' influence is really insignificant to the general population.

>They'll raise the fear flag whenever they find an opportunity for more pageviews. Or worse, (and some of the more level headed community here is guilty of this too), the "zOMG GOOGLE IS NOW EVIL" flag. If I had a nickel for every time some random blogger decided that somehow advertising in a slightly different way was an affront to truth, justice, and the American way....

Being anti-google does indeed seem to be the hipster position at the moment. $5 says it'll soon be, 'I'm too cool even for Apple, I use Windows mobile'. Not that there's anything wrong with windows mobile, it's quite nice. I can see it having a bit of the perception of the phone your parents would carry. Though, and that'll feed perfectly into hipsterism.
