That's subjective opinion. The post is from 2 days ago and it's very picky on things like it's touching mobile but don't say that those gestures were invented way before iphone even existed or was in plans. Iphone was able to support gestures due to multi touch screen. If author thinks iphone was revolutionary then I can't disagree more. Same with picture in picture and other stuff that he mentions.

The fact that author is working at Google is making this stuff even more subjective.
