Answers.Text: yes, the example shows that SVM is better here since the dashed-circle can discriminate between o and x data, but the dashed-line (from logistic regression) cannot discriminate between the two classes of data (o and x).

Answers.Text: It's simple, can you draw a straight line that perfectly discriminates between o and x points in the picture? Of course, we can draw a straight line, but the classification would not be accurate.
  The answer is no, so, this problem is not linearly solvable with good accuracy. If all the o 's where on left and all x 's were on right, then a straight line could discriminate between them perfectly.

  The straight dashed-line shows the typical decision line in logistic regression or any linear classifier. The dashed-circle shows the decision line from SVM.
  Obviously, since the data is not linearly separable in the original 2D feature space, if someone makes a higher dimension space by taking into account non-linear interaction of the original 2 features then they can discriminate between x and o data using a linear discriminator applied in higher dimensions. This shows the beauty of kernel methods that can make a linear yet high-dimensional (infinite dimensions indeed) problem from a non-linear low-dimensional problem (finite dimensions actually).
