You read his post and what he chose to quote:

"We're going to keep improving that technology each generation, so that 
it becomes a platform for us that will be used to truly differentiate 
this technology for our products."

keep improving their products is an admission that their products are 
"marketing gimmicks".

Show some balls, quisling.
