SOLUTION
Authority: This brief article is very weak in terms of authority, as its author is listed as “anonymous.” Presumably, the article was written by someone at Xelltec.
Accuracy: The article appears to have no major errors of fact; however, it does not provide much in the way of facts since its main purpose appears to be publicity for the security microchip.
Objectivity: This article’s main purpose is to advertise the security microchip; thus, it is not very objective.
Currency: The article was published in February 2011. Thus, its information is fairly current.
Coverage: As far as it goes, this article does an OK job of coverage. However, in the broader sense, its coverage is inadequate, since it does not compare the company’s security microchip to other forms of IT security.
