Google owns a satellite service, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyhole,_Inc) why shouldn't Facebook and Apple?

Keyhole wrote the predecessor to the Google Earth software, but while it's a great name for an imagery company, they don't run satellites themselves.

Google did pay for a half share in GeoEye-1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeoEye-1) and have exclusive commercial access.

Facebook should buy one and burn it down over their headquarters. Just because they can :) .
