"iPhoto and iMovie revolutionized the ability of consumers to organize, edit and display [note: the missing word, create] digital photography and video."
Have you used either of those programs? They aren't some passive entertainment software--they exist so you can take your camera (video or still) around, capture something, and plug it into your Mac later for editing. Apple's Mac software, and the Mac itself, were always targeted towards people's creativity, and there's no indication that's changed. What has changed is Apple has discovered they can sell well-designed products to people who aren't interested in creativity, too.
OK, I don't see how any of that is relevant to your claim that iPhoto and iMovie are for passive consumption of entertainment (if that's indeed what you're saying, as you couldn't be bothered to actually tell us.)
It would have been awesome if you had put the effort to state your position instead of slapping two links to Wikipedia and leaving us to infer what you're trying to say.
If you are implying that Apple removed the page because they are ashamed of it, I'd say bubkes. I don't think Apple's position has changed in any way. In fact in last week's Steve-rant, Jobs reiterated basically the same thing.
