Google hasn't innovated a single fucking thing in over a decade... While Apple and Microsoft and Nokia and Nortel and Blackberry and IBM and many others were actually innovating in smartphones and mobile technologies for over a decade you were busy making monopoly profits in a different market. Now you want into the big global smartphone market. And essentially want all the intellectual property of these companies to be effectively voided.
I don't get any sense that admires Microsoft per se; as I read it, he's just comparing and contrasting with respect to innovation in the smartphone space, and finds Google lacking.
Apple working on a touchscreen smartphone? [So Google] spend billions from another business and copy everything you can, down to swipes and apps.
Apple used profits generated in one business area to fund a different one, swiping wasn't a novel concept, and "apps" is just another name for "programs".
I also particularly enjoyed that paragraph where he rails against Google for scraping content, claims that it isn't possible to block Google from scraping content, and then complains that if you do block Google from scraping content then it's unfair that they don't show that scraped content to their search users.
