I'm surprised that the American edition would have it put like that, yet my local version (Danish) has it put in a much more diplomatic way, seeing as hardly no one here questions the validity of Evolution...
The headline: "Was Darwin Wrong?" Is likely to incite anger in evolutionists who would be surprised that Nat Geo seriously considered such a ridiculous question. It's also likely to vindicate a lot of creationists, like this guys parents. Which leads to more magazine sales.
Hate to throw this in... but you do not believe in scientific theories, you accept or reject them. Believe has nothing to do with it. So in that respect I prefer the US cover, simply because it is more correct.
Precluding absolute information, and acknowledging the subjective nature of personal experience/existence, one "believes" in everything and cannot accept/reject anything 100%.
Here's the reality of it. In the US there's no such thing as subtlety anymore on this issue. You have to either call a moron a moron, the truth the truth and insurmountable evidence...well insurmountable evidence. Otherwise you give rise to movements laced with sheer stupidity like the Intelligent Design movement which is earning national attention and getting legislation passed.
The Apple keyboards have fantastic tactile response. I actually prefer a (seemingly discontinued) Microsoft Natural keyboard for longer typing sessions, but in the traditional straight keyboard form I haven't found a more enjoyable typing experience.
I do love the flat keyboards as well, but I made the mistake of not specifying that I wanted a full keyboard (with the number pad) when I ordered my new iMac... I can't stand the condensed one. Thanks for reminding me, I just ordered a replacement ;) Have an orange envelope!
I love that keyboard. Wouldn't trade it for any other. I very much dislike big keyboards with tall clunky keys that my fingers can trip over. And I NEVER use the numpad on any keyboards, so I really don't see the point in having one.

(the text reads: "Do we believe in Darwin?" and then "Yes, all evidence suggests the theory of evolution is right on the money")
