I don't understand this response at all. Does innovation not count if you're not doing it for charity? For several years I was reading articles about how Moore's Law was totally over and we couldn't expect any more improvements in chips, and then along comes Apple to blow x86 out of the water.

I don't even agree with this- Apple's core competency is the top-to-bottom customer experience, which they (almost certainly correctly) think they can improve by making their own silicon. But even if it was true, so what? Again, "investment not directly tied to product" doesn't make innovation "not count".
