You look familiar...

Quick - without thinking too hard, or lingering over any of the individual profile pictures too long, take a look at the images below and tell me what would you say you are looking at?

Here are some logical guesses, (assuming you did not actually recognize any of these gents and figure it out already), take a look and pick the one you think is most likely to be correct:

A.  The members of the local school board from the nicest neighborhood in town

B. Your teammates from the Over-40 basketball league from the local YMCA

C. The highest ranking executives at a major, huge, colossal, global corporation

What do you think? Actually, all three options are pretty likely to be accurate, but the correct answer in this case is 'C' - take a look at the original, undoctored image below.

So you've probably sorted out by now the gentlemen pictured above represent the highest ranking executives at everyone's favorite mega-corporation, Apple, in the news this week for announcing a pretty significant shake-up in their executive ranks.

Do you notice anything about the picture?  Maybe that, I don't know, everyone in it looks pretty much like everyone else?

Do you care at all about that?

Does it matter?

Does it not matter because it is Apple, and well, everyone loves their iPhones and iPads?

I wonder.
