The article states overtly that patent infringement is near unavoidable in smartphone manufacturing, but then proceeds to paint a picture of unilateral patent infringement on Google's part vs. Apple. I know the author intended to focus on one patent disagreement, but it's disingenuous to focus on Google as an infringer and Apple as a victim whilst ignoring that the opposite is at least possible.

Given Google's recent patent acquisition sprees (IBM and now Motorola), I think the opposite is getting more likely every day.
