This guy is one of the saddest examples of poor journalism. regardless of the subject, his knowledge is shallow at best, and full of inaccuracies and generalizations.
A few in this review:
On iPhoto's Events:
“ This is nice, but it does not solve the problem of having to sort pictures further; a photo card with pictures from both Uncle Brian's birthday party and a daughter's graduation will be seen by iPhoto as a single "event" simply because the pictures were on the same card and downloaded together.“
The 2 images will only be together if shot on the same day. The card has nothing to do with it. For many casual users this is great, because they shoot at different events over long periods and then have to divide the images - iPhoto does it for them.
On the expense of .Mac
“Now, iPhoto makes it easier for users to upload their pictures to their .Mac accounts, which can get expensive, mainly since they have been expanded to 10 gigabytes in size.“
Now .Mac can indeed be expensive, but the expansion to 10GBs did not alter the price - if anything it increased the value.
Nice job: review stuff without reviewing it.
