Easy to fix. Instead of just inserting the image, wrap it with Image and use the ImageSize option to Image. E.g.,
Column[{Image[pic, ImageSize -> 300], "Mathematica 9 is here"}]
where either you've assigned to pic the inserted image or actually pasted a copied image right there.

Of course the cell cannot be evaluated, so I have turn off that option. If there is a way to add the caption, I wonder whether the whole cell - picture + caption - could be centered justified.
