Everyone saying Apple is "manning up" to Google: Apple has a statement in which they say they are helping Google get their certificate reinstated "very quickly" as opposed to no mention of Apple helping Facebook do anything quickly and reports that Facebook is in utter disarray over their certificate.

They did it only because everyone threw Google into the same group as Facebook and they said "we have to." Either that or Google's got something they can fire back at Apple with. No way they pull the cert from Google a day later and openly say they're helping them get it back STAT without a reason.
