The 41 hottest guys in tech


1. Alec Saunders, VP, developer relations, BlackBerry
Alec Saunders
First he wooed us with a stirring lip-synched cover of REO Speedwagon’s “Keep On Loving You,” and then he sealed the deal with a loin-rattling faux rendition of Etta James’ “At Last.” It’s almost enough to make us buy a BlackBerry.
2. Larry Ellison, Oracle CEO
Larry Ellison
The man has a smoldering gaze so intense it seared off his eyebrows.
3. Jeff Bridges, actor from the movie “Tron”
Jeff Bridges
You just know you want a piece of his hard disk.
4. Vladimir Putin, President of Russia 
Vladimir Putin
Okay, so he vetoed a law that would have been helpful to Russia’s answer to Silicon Valley,Skolkovo, but he did pilot a hand-glider on a failed attempt to guide a flock of cranes to safety. That’s high-tech enough to warrant inclusion in this list. Also, pecs.
5. Al Gore’s beard (deceased)

Admit it – if Al Gore’s saucy follicles didn’t exist, there’d be no Internet.
6. Kevin Roose, tech writer for New York magazine

Henry Blodget 2
Token ginger.
10. Greg Kumparak, TechCrunch reporter
Greg Kumparak
Can you deny those puppy-dog eyes? Okay then, how about the puppy?
11. Robert Scoble, not really sure what his job is

The sexiest half of Apple’s founding team.
13. Matt Mullenweg, WordPress founder

Actual hot guy. I cannot get my girlfriend to stop talking about him. “He’s soooo cute!”
14. David Holmes, PandoDaily reporter

16. Astro Teller, captain of moonshots at Google[x]
Astro Teller
Ponytail.
17. Justin Timberlake, pop star, actor, golf course owner, MySpace investor
Justin Timberlake
Okay, he got a bit weird after he went all Sean Parker-y, but nothing can touch the freshness of his ‘N Sync days. Sexy didn’t need to be brought back, JT – it was already brung.
18. Jay Rosen and Clay Shirky, journalists and academics

Possibly the same person? Just throwing it out there.
19–25. These Facebook employees

Just a small sampling of the tasty treats cloistered away at 1 Hacker Way.
 26. MG Siegler, venture capitalist
MG Siegler
According to his Twitter profile, Siegler roams “the badlands” – which are apparently, like, somewhere between SOMA and Steve Jobs’ backyard. If you don’t find that hot, you’re probably not breathing.
27. Bill Gates, Microsoft founder, philanthropist
Bill Gates
Lovely smile, but it’s those anti-malarial eyes that put him over the top.
28. Evgeny Morozov, academic and writer
Evgeny Morozov
Possessor of relentlessly cheerful disposition. Dontcha just wanna squeeze him?
29. Julian Frachtman, dude
Julian Frachtman
Successfully re-installed Microsoft Office 97 on my computer in high school.
30. Justin Bieber, pop-star, Vanilla Ice impersonator

Nothing is sexier than 36 million Twitter followers. Well, except maybe puberty.
31. Kaifu Lee, founder of Innovation Works and ex-President of Google China
Kaifu Lee
Perfect helmet hair.
32. Nick Denton, owner of Gawker Media
Nick Denton
Amid all the kerfuffle over his sprawling media enterprise, and subsequent New Yorker profile, there’s one salient fact about Nick Denton that most commentators are way too politically correct to mention: he is the hottest media proprietor on Elizabeth Street. No, make that the hottest media proprietor in SoHo – ever. (Ref.)
33. Slade Sohmer, founder of HyperVocal
Slade Sohmer
Once compared the author of this post to Joel McHale. Token former executive producer for Lou Dobbs. (Check him out on Twitter.)
34. Jerry Moran, US Senator

Hottest advocate for high-skilled immigration that Capitol Hill has seen since John Adams.

So hot that in the film “Shattered Glass” he was played by Rosario Dawson.
