One Prominent CEO Disses Apple (AAPL) iPad Unveiling, Calls Event 'Boring'

Someone didn't like the iPad launch Wednesday...though he didn't say too much bad about the actual product.

Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM) CEO Marc Benioff was tweeting his thoughts to his 30,000 or so followers on Wednesday. Curiously, many of his posts had to do with lack of diversity at Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL). For example, Benioff noted, "Apple has all white men on stage. No women or racial diversity so far."

Or: "The only racial and gender diversity in Apple's keynotes is in the movies they show at the launches."

And: "Apple: we have lots of white men building white #ipad3s. No women on stage at launch. Only racial diversity is in videos and photos shown."

Benioff insisted, "This #ipad3 launch is horribly boring. Steve, I miss you terribly."

Again, it wasn't all bad. He liked the HD display and 4G: "4G LTE plus Retina plus 1/2 Million Apps. Ipad3 Rocks." and "Ipad3 lte means video is a lot faster. Its a game changer for ipad."
