If works of art are timeless, then this edition of The 100 and those before it are time capsules, capturing thoughts, fashions and fads at a particular moment.

This year we ask the 100 about the contents of their iPads and whether or not they watch TV on them. More evidence of time’s passage — this year’s 100 list lacks one of cable’s best and most fun, the late Bill Bresnan. It’s in his spirit that we present this edition, where you’ll find financial results, business advice — but also hobbies, books and favorite drinks. We think Mr Bresnan would have approved. —Seth Arenstein
