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.

Sarah Lane -Number 6

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 labeled this tech-savvy lady as one of the hottest women in tech. 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.

Jessica Corbin-Number 5

The raven-haired Jessica Corbin has proved with her successful media career that she can hold her own against any tech whiz.

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.

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. Leah 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.

Jade Raymond- Number 1

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 Raymond 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.
