Not really. As has been said before there were two options here and both of them involved censorship. If Google tries to be some kind of a "humanitarian hero" then the Chinese people lose access to all that Google has to offer -- essentially censorship in totality. If Google plays nice for the Chinese government, the citizens of China only lose out on some of what Google offers -- partial censorship. It's like telling a starving man he should reject an offer of half a sandwhich because it's not up to the full humanitarian standard of offering the whole thing.
Okay, fine, but reading the article and then reading the site you posted leaves me with an important question -- how does answering the question of how bees fly put a "nail in the coffin" of anything at all, let alone Intelligent Design? The site you linked to remarks that we have (had) a general understanding of what goes on, but not a specific one. It says that the specific way in which bees go about flying must be fairly "sophisticated." The article says this, "Turns out bee flight mechanisms are more exotic than thought."
Well, wait a minute, isn't that what we ID folk have been saying all along? None of us ever said, "Hey, you guys don't know how bees fly, you MUST BE WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING." It's more like, "Hey, the way bees fly must be pretty incredible --so much so that we can't even figure out how it works yet." Discovering that the way they fly truly IS incredible does nothing to damage the idea of ID -- if anything it merely upholds it.
Except the Hibernate mode in prior versions of Windows does not seem to be as fast/effective as the one described here. Generally, instad of "right back to the desktop," it involved a bit of a wait time. This sounds a bit more like what Apple has done with (at least) OSX.
I suppose that's an understandable argument on the directory structuring. I have never personally encountered a problem with it, but I can see where you would.
Thats just it -- iPhoto isn't for professionals. The fact that it doesn't meet a professional photographer's needs doesn't disqualify it from doing almost exactly what Dvorak is claiming programs don't do.
How exactly is organizing your photos by the dates they were taken a "crazy scheme?"iPhoto has had no trouble recognizing duplicates from my digital camera that went undeleted. Perhaps this was recently fixed? Furthermore, there are manual controls for the options the "magic button" changes (though you are right, the "magic button" is essentially crap). Sadly the overall editing options in iPhoto do not come anywhere near PhotoShop, or even what Dvorak is looking for. If Dvorak even knows what he's looking for.
