Editor's Notes
- "Morgan Romine, better known as “Rhoulette” in video game communities, is the eSports Maven for Red 5 Studios, developers of the upcoming open-world PC shooter Firefall. Before joining the Red 5 Tribe, Romine helped found and build Ubisoft’s all-girl professional gaming team, the Frag Dolls. As Manager and Team Captain, she served as a primary spokesperson for the Frag Dolls and used that role to become a visible advocate for women in the game industry and gamer community.
- Amber Case is a cyborg anthropologist, examining the way humans and technology interact and evolve together. Like all anthropologists, Case watches people, but her fieldwork involves observing how they participate in digital networks, analyzing the various ways we project our personalities, communicate, work, play, share ideas and even form values. Case founded Geoloqi.com, a private location-sharing application, out of a frustration with existing social protocols around text messaging and wayfinding.Case, who predicts that intensification of the human-technology interface will quickly reduce the distance between individual and community, believes that the convergence of technologies will bring about unprecedented rapid learning and communication. Dubbed a digital philosopher, Case applies her findings to such fields as information architecture, usability and online productivity. She’s currently working on a book about using anthropological techniques to understand industry ecosystems.
- She joined First International Computer (FIC) in 1982.[6] Wang and others founded VIA in 1987 and HTC in 1997. In May 2011, Forbes ranked her with husband Wen Chi Chen as the wealthiest person in Taiwan, with a net worth of US$8.8 billion.[7] In August 2012, Wang was named #56 on Forbes' list of The World's 100 Most Powerful Women.[8]
