The article, written by Brian X. Chen, tells us about the White House's recent veto of a ban that would prohibit the selling of certain Apple products in the U.S.. The ban was due to Apple's using a cellular data transmission device patented by Samsung. The article mentions both Apple's argument and Samsung's argument concerning the issue. Apple claims that Samsung isn't keeping their promise to license their patents related to wireless technology. Samsung refutes by saying that Apple doesn't pay licensing fees for their patents. The article also explains that the White House decided to veto the ban due to the effect it would have on the economy. The article concludes with the information that both companies will continue to be at each other's throats in court battles, which are pretty much guaranteed to continue.
The article was well-written, and well-organized. The information is presented in an order that makes it easy to understand what the situation is. There are a few technical terms which are hard to understand, but not impossible. The author does not present his opinion in the article, which is helpful, because it allows the reader to form their own opinions instead of needing the article to give them an opinion.
