Separate from my other comment, I also just don't agree with this piece in general. It seems like the only way to make the journalist happy is to not let Tim Cook. Phil Schiller, or any other male executive talk at the keynote. Those people aren't really replaceable; if someone besides Phil Schiller gave his talk, that would be pretty big news. And my impression of the event is that Apple did push for diversity in all of the replaceable roles (demos, people from other companies, etc).
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see an Apple event where the majority of the time was spent with people other than white men talking. But that's really only going to happen when someone who's not a white man gets promoted to executive in one of the roles that actually warrants speaking at an event (e.g. head of retail doesn't speak at these events), and that's probably only going to happen when one of the current executives retires.
