“You can be assured we are working as hard as ever this year to deliver an incredible year and some products that will blow your mind,” said Cook, 51, speaking before investors at Apple’s annual shareholder meeting at the company’s headquarters in Cupertino, California.

If the iTunes and App Stores have had a failing, it’s been this.

“We’re pleased to join a broad industry agreement to respect the ‘do-not-track’ header in a consistent and meaningful way that offers users choice and clearly explained browser controls,” Google Senior Vice President of Advertising Susan Wojcicki said in an e-mailed statement today.
