@raena Is that a woman using a computer?? No wait! It's just a guy with long hair.
-
@pfctdayelise yeah it's important not to alienate that longhaired dude market!!
-
@pfctdayelise @raena It's like "Where's Wally?"
-
@werdna @pfctdayelise clearly "wally" is the person who didn't think very hard about the message they're sending with their imagery
-
@raena how about the person in the white top, centre of the heading banner, with their head cut off?
-
@raena sleeveless top, necklace, and a hat -- isn't accesorising evidence of lack of Y chromosome?
-
@ajtowns good spotting, but you can hardly say she's really "in" that photo when she's hidden by that bar
-
@raena @pfcdayelise Don't be silly. There are no girls on the Internet.
-
@raena come to WWDC! you too could have your face hidden behind a bar!
-
@ajtowns perhaps she is a dentist (cause we can't show you her face)
-
@pfctdayelise@raena Also, and in a completely contradictory fashion, I reckon most of those guys are big girls anyway. :p
-
@raena Aren't dentists on the ACMA blacklist too? We can't even show you their website.
-
@raena looks like that photo was taken at the conf. If there is a low female turnout, is that all Apples fault?
-
@cykoflame, of course not, but it doesn't seem as if they are doing much to encourage it either
-
@cykoflame doing nothing just perpetuates the same stupid cycle
-
@raena so what should they do? better yet, what should we all be doing? I'm all for more women in IT.
-
@cykoflame Sexual reassignment surgery for everyone! <not helpful>
-
@djelibeybi Dex would love it if I had boobs.
-
@cykoflame Eating McDonalds and Pizza only for about a month can achieve similar results. Want to know more? Ask me how!
-
@cykoflame well a really good start would have been not to characterise "your peers" as "exclusively male".
-
@cykoflame i don't mean your actual peers, sir, just the phrasing apple used
-
@cykoflame there's heaps people can do generally but it's hard to express in <140chars
-
@raena if you can't fit it in a char(140) then how do you expect guys to process it?

@cykoflame My thought exactly.
