Like most of their pronouncements it's complete garbage. All the
major innovations have come from academia where collabaration is a
central tenet of the scientific discipline.
To name just one: the WWW - courtesy of CERN.
Academia has always been `open source' and that's where most of all
future innovations will come from too.
As a company they have not innovated one significant thing except the
construction & subsequent use & abuse of a monopoly.
Not one thing! With all their money....pitiful.... & an indication that
they're too bloody idle to innovate. After all, why do they have to
innovate? The money is still streaming in.

A "critic" is a man who creates nothing and thereby feels qualified to judge
the work of creative men. There is logic in this; he is unbiased -- he hates
all creative people equally.
