Its more of a history lesson with some highlights. A good recap of the last few years as well.

Does the author discuss pros and cons of Google Wave? Pretty insightful. Why doesn't he cover Apple Newton likewise?

The author is clearly focused on recent history. Newton was canceled before Google was incorporated, and right after Steve Jobs became CEO.

How can someone write so much about this rivalry and say nothing interesting?

My advice if you haven't read the article -- skip it.

XServ? Apple TV that has iterated through various terrible iterations? Ping?

The article is yet another Apple love-in. The comparison is "viewing one company with a critical eye, and the other with rose coloured glasses."
