Apple is emulating Microsoft's integration of Internet Explorer and the Windows operating system of the 1990's.

Actually, no! That's a analogy. Microsoft integrated its own software in a manner that the feds decided was anticompetitive. Apple's integrating the social services of other companies. They're nothing alike at all.

Almost every sentence in this piece is mind-numbingly, antler-achingly wrong. For the Macalope it's like standing, starving, at a buffet of misery, unable to decide where to force himself to start eating. He could pretty much pull a quote from anywhere and run with it.

If you track Apple's migration from a clean, bombproof operating system...

"Bombproof"? Well, it's true the Macalope doesn't remember being bombed while using early versions of OS X. Presumably, Anderson means it was secure, but it was less the inherent security of the OS than it was the small market size. Mountain Lion is far more inherently secure than, say, Panther, but it's more targeted.
