You know I just want to know how in the heck Sylar figured out how to take other people powers.

Yeah, since it seemed his power in the past was moving things around. With the snow globes. hmmm...

Sylar's power originally was figuring out how things work or what makes something tick so to speak. He stole the telekinetic ability from his first victim who had come looking for Papa Suresh to just try and get rid of it. Unfortunately for him, Sylar helped him get rid of his power by stealing it. Then Sylar went back to Mohindar's father trying to impress him with his new telekinetics(moving things around with the power of the mind).

That first victim had his ability removed physically, probably with nasty, gory, cutting tools, as Sylar had no telekinesis yet.

I rewatched the episode "Six Months Ago". Suresh approaches Sylar(Gabriel), because he is on his list. When he walks up to Sylar, Sylar knows that his watch is broken. He fixes it. Suresh asks how he knew the watch was broken and Sylar says that it is a talent of his(That is his power).

Later Suresh tests Sylar and finds nothing and dismisses him, thinking he was mistaken about Sylar having any abilities at all. Sylar was excited about getting a CAT scan and says he is sure his abilities will show any day now, he can feel it. Then Sylar gets angry when Suresh isn't showing any interest in further testing. He storms out after throwing some files, one marked with a man's name with Telekinesis.

The man with Telekinesis shows up at Sylar's shop(he is the actor that plays the assistant Coroner on CSI. He is also CSI's fact checker). He demonstrates his telekinesis and says he just wants to get rid of it. Then Sylar says he is broken, but he knows how to fix him. Sylar says that he sees it all now, how it all works. It is an evolutionary imperative for him to do what he will do(from an earlier discussion with Suresh about why animals do things they do). He picks up a large chunk of crystal and brains CSI guy, who falls and is laying in a  pool of blood. They don't show how he does it, but he removes CSI guy's special brain thing(Suresh also discussed the brain as the controller of everything we are and container of the soul, if there is such a thing). Then he is with Suresh showing off his super duper telekinetics by breaking a glass. Suresh is impressed and they start to work together.

Taking Linderman's shape would have definitely made him very powerful.
