Perhaps you could try reading the text you yourself bolded, and find out he wasn't comparing anything to Windows.

Slashdot: News for Luddites, stuff that scares us.
I don't see a big difference.
The big difference is the intent. That is why that word is there.
The "It's ironic" at the beginning of the quote ties the two statements together as if they are comparing to nearly identical situations.
That is not what "ironic" means. No part of the concept of irony requires the two situations to be "nearly identical". The situations are similar - Microsoft office on an Apple platform - but not so identical that you assume there must be an implication that Microsoft needs a "lifeline". All that is said is that the relevance of Microsoft has declined, while Apple's has increased. The irony is that two similar situations have such different outcomes, now and then.
No part of that statement implies that.
What "conclusion"? There is no conclusion in the text you quoted. It is two contrasting statements of fact.
I would assume it is a device that intentionally radiates electromagnetic waves. So not a signal generator, but definitely this device.
Because Slashdot for some strange reason decided not to lie this time? I don't know what this place is coming to.
Well, except for the option where Apple makes sure the kids get money and education and don't have to work.
I wonder if the article might tell us if they might have happened to do exactly that?
Exactly, except for where it is pretty much the exact opposite of that.
Google is already working on VP9, so they aren't giving up quite yet. Whether they'll manage to be competitive is another matter, but at least they're trying.
Nobody "won". Companies weren't making proposals for complete replacements for h.264. They were making proposals for incremental improvements on h.264. h.265 is a collection of those different improvements. Each one is small in itself, but they add up.
Apparently not the top of the heap in realizing when somebody is clowning around.
Then why are they doing the same thing, instead of actually doing better?
Phone OS innovations: 1) it's truly open source 2) it's built by a not-for-profit organisation 3) it exists so that apps can be built in HTML5 and run off the internet,
None of those are anywhere near the meaning of the word "innovation". "Innovation" doesn't mean "things I like".
which is where the world was headed before Apple introduced the notion of apps and erected the walls of their garden
Apple started out with HTML apps. Everybody hated it.
All power corrupts, but we need electricity.
