This article is about (a summary in your own words)      Steve Job's impact on google. He claimed that they stole his ideas for the iPhone and put them in the Android. There were back and forth arguments on what really happened. Then the CEO for google was switched and Jobs and Page were made friends because of Page's willing to learn from him Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs then died taking his knowledge with him. ______________________________________________

What I learned from this article is that Steve jobs wanted to take google to court for stealing ideas for phones._________________________________________________________________

What I liked about this article is that it stated how Jobs made friends with google at the end and it taught me how major businesses can get into huge fights just like you and your friend.  ____________________________________________________________________
