Have you guys tried searching for "Guy Kawasaki"?
On my results, GK's LinkedIn profile is ahead of his Google+.
Google might be personalizing the search results.

If I scroll futher down you can see 2 more instances of google plus -- http://i.imgur.com/1fHm5.png, although I assume this is because I follow both Tom Anderson and Vic Gundotra. However for me personally I couldn't give a shit about g+ and it seems clear to me at least that they are (as the blog author suggests) boosting the position of g+ just because it's a google product.
Not in my case.
I guess since people you follow on Google+ have shared something related to Guy Kawasaki, that's why Google deemed it more relevant. It doesn't factor in if you use Google+ or not.
They are not only doing that with Google+ but with Twitter too.
opera, work account: http://screensnapr.com/e/jZleuh.png firefox, secure personal account: http://screensnapr.com/e/bTOdgq.png
neither of those have google plus.
My guess is that his Google+ profile is more visited than his LinkedIn.
Maybe Google deserves some benefit of the doubt.
