Yes... but on the front page is also:
"Microsoft not being allowed to use the Metro name here is just as ridiculous as Apple trolling Samsung."
If Samsung indeed copied the iPhone, like Apple claims and their own document kind of proves, how can Apple's actions still be described as ridiculous and trolling?

Quite.
Thom says he said what he had to say about the Samsung document in the original article. He said
the document evaluates everything from the home screen to the browser to the built in apps on both devices. In each case, it comes up with a recommendation on what Samsung should do going forward and in most cases its answer is simple: Make it work more like the iPhone." Pretty damning.
He then of course back tracks and starts adding qualifications to that statement.
how many of these were actually implemented? How common are these types of comparisons (i.e., does Apple have them)? Are these protected by patents and the like? And, but that's largely irrelevant and mostly of interest to me because I'm a translator myself, who translated the document, and how well has he or she done the job?
Leaving aside the desperate and irrelevant red herring about translation what does this all add up to? Are you saying if indeed Samsung did use Apple's designs to design it's own kit then it was wrong? If so should Samsung be punished? Should such activity ever be condoned? Given the volumes you have written attacking Apple on this issue a few more detailed paragraphs laying out your take on the Samsung document and what it says about how Samsung behaved is the least you can do.
And still you call Apple a troll. Have you no shame?
