Sexy Techies - Top 10 hottest women in technology field

Number 10

Marissa Mayer

As the acting vice president of search product and user experience at Google, Marissa Mayer is in control of every single product release for the search engine giant. It is Marissa Mayer who has a say in when a hotly anticipated new Google program is released to the general public. After earning her masters degree in computer science from Stanford University, Melissa became the first female engineer hired at Google, and she is part of the original 20-person workforce. Recently, Mayer has become one of the main public faces for Google, and as you can see, it was for good reason.

Number 9

Kari Byron

Kari Byron is best-known for her work on the Discovery Channel’s popular science and technology show MythBusters. As part of the MythBusters build team, Kari Byron uses her professional artistic background to set up and conduct all sorts of far-out experiments. Kari shot to geek stardom when, during a vacuum toilet segment, she used her own bare backside to provide the 3D scan needed to complete the project. After seeing Kari Byron, you couldn’t ask for a better body part to be immortalized.

Number 8

Amanda Mackay

This former model and G4techTV host was the lead on the popular weekly show Pulse, which focused on breaking news in and around the game industry. She has also been the host of GameOne, which is a video game show on GameTrailers.com. One of Amanda Mackay’s episodes actually explored, of all topics, women in gaming. Despite her appearance, Amanda Mackay is more than just a pretty TV personality. She is regarded in the tech world as an expert in video game journalism, and pens a regular tech and gaming article for Soak Magazine.

Number 7

Kim Komando

Besides having one of the coolest last names ever, Kim Komando -- “America’s Digital Goddess” -- is one of the hottest women in tech. The Kim Komando Show is broadcast and syndicated on over 450 radio stations across the U.S. and Canada, and the program focuses on the world of personal computers, the internet and consumer electronics -- all things she is well-informed on. Komando is a frequent go-to guest for national and international news outlets for technology topics and trends. If you can’t get enough from hearing and watching Kim, you can also read her syndicated technology column that appears in USA Today and many other publications.

Number 6

Sarah Lane

Sarah Lane started off in the tech field as the senior segment producer and correspondent for the G4 technology-centric variety program Attack of the Show. It was there that viewers became very familiar with her stunning looks and tech savvy. She produced weekly pieces that showcased unique websites, downloads and oddities on the internet. Sarah Lane also had a stint on TechTV where she ran a hi-tech news magazine show, and created documentaries on similar subject matter. In 2004, Sarah Lane proved she was one of the hottest women in tech when she was nominated for Playboy’s Sexiest Techie, and was offered the chance to pose nude for the famed magazine. Unfortunately for us, she turned the proposition down. Lane is the current director of production at Revision3, a corporation that creates original technology programming.

Number 5

Jessica Corbin

The raven-haired Jessica Corbin has proved with her successful media career that she can hold her own against any tech whiz. The former TechTV personality, who co-anchored TechLive and The Screen Savers, is known just as much for her electronics know-how as she is for her stunning looks. Jessica Corbin makes frequent appearances on the podcast “This Week in Tech,” and she shares hosting duties with geekdom god and former Star Trek cast member Will Wheaton on InDigital. Her newest project is Tekzilla with cohost Patrick Nortan. Jessica Corbin will lead the series that centers on the latest gadgets, tech tips and do-it-yourself projects.

Number 4

Leah Culver

For those not in the tech "know," Leah Culver is the programmer/developer and lead creator of Pownce, which is an emerging internet messaging service. Culver has worked as a software developer for IBM, iLoop Mobile and Instructables. Leah’s impressive resume has helped earn her a reputation as one of the top coders and developers of web systems (such as Pownce or Django) in the business. As one of the hottest women in tech, she is best known for her popular off-beat blog at LeahCulver.com, which is regularly updated and curiously addictive. Culver first gained national notoriety when she attempted and succeeded to sell surface space on her MacBook to advertisers as a way to raise money to afford the expensive laptop. The ads were then laser etched onto the top of her MacBook Pro for a nominal fee, and a cult legend was born.

Number 3

Natali Del Conte

The jaw-dropping Natali Del Conte has made her mark in the tech world through news journalism and online media. She was discovered on the web show Cranky Geeks, and it was from that attention-grabbing appearance that she launched into her podcasting career and became known as one of the hottest women in tech. Natali Del Conte doesn’t just talk the talk -- she writes and hosts her popular podcast "TeXtra," and has worked stints with PC Magazine, TechCrunch and Wired. In 2008, she will be taking her extensive insight in technology to CNET TV, where she’ll have her own new show premiering in February.

Number 2

Layla Kayleigh

Layla Kayleigh has a bit of a leg up on our top 10 competition because, as both a professional model and legit tech correspondent, she is a double threat. The 23-year-old British TV personality is part of G4’s Attack of the Show, where she hosts "The Feed" segment. Layla can be found posing in the pages of numerous magazines, including Maxim and King, and she also hosts a weekly show on Maxim Radio. Kayleigh still finds time to run her own website, which thankfully features a video blog, so her many admirers can watch while they catch up on Layla and the latest pop culture tech news. Her newest project is an internet show called Movie Mob, which will be for the Reelz Channel.

Number 1

Jade Raymond

The current top spot on our list goes to the sexy and talented Canadian video game producer for Ubisoft Montreal. Jade Raymond, who is best known for her 2007 stealth action hit Assassin’s Creed, is one of the most influential and popular figures in today’s video game industry. Part of Assassin’s Creed’s financial success must be due to the fact that Raymond served as the public face for the game’s PR push. What gaming publication wouldn’t want to feature her flawless face? Being easy on the eyes is only part of the equation, but it is even more noteworthy because she heads up some truly amazing games. With a resume that includes hosting duties on G4’s The Electric Playground, and programming stops at Sony and Electronic Arts before Ubisoft, Jade is a major player in the tech world. It has also been rumored that she would appear as a future cover girl for Maxim, but Raymond has since denied those reports… damn.
