"Does anyone know what this argument is?" He makes it right in the article: "It is worth $500 billion" - which is a pretty small group of companies (two) "Six Google products have more than one billion users" - again a pretty significant achievement. Facebook has 1 or 2. Apple has none - the iPhone has sold about 700M units across all models apparently. "I use Google to research stories, I email my editors through Gmail, and I use Google Maps to go to meetings." - people in first world countries probably use a google product every day. Few companies have that level of global reach and touch so many people's everyday lives.
