Manolith.com announced their 12 hottest geeks. Their criteria of a proper geek girl entails being geeky, a techie, and being hot. I agree that all of their picks are hot, but some are definitely NOT geeks. Marina Orlova is clearly hot and I love Hot For Words (her show), but what makes here more of a geek than iJustine. In my opinion, iJustine is way geekier having been on MacBreak. I digress. Here are my picks for the Top 10 Hottest Geeks, they are mostly overlapping (w/ manolith.com’s picks) but these are the one’s I see deserving of the award.
