Not that it's significantly better, but there are 5 women, not 3: April Greiman, Jane Metcalfe, Noemi Trainor, Es Devlin, and Dr. Pardis Sabeti. However, they did choose Rosetto instead of Metcalfe for 1997's main photo, so there's a case to be made for 4 (though Metcalfe is in the photos when you scroll down).
Not sure. It just came to mind when scrolling and seeing all those men faces. Can't believe that the Mac could be SO correlated with men's achievements.
It just says: Look, in the past 30 years, the Mac was where men did great things. OR, we selected 30 great things that happened in the past 30 years. And men did them. And Apple was there.
If you did a list from the pc world, you would get a much longer one which would eclipse the achievement of these macloving people, who usually happen to be egomaniacs on top of that. Guess it fits with the Jobs image.
