While there's no doubt (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/03/08/microsoft-hiring-for-next-generation-console-engineers/) that Microsoft is hard at work on some form of new Xbox console, we may have a new glimpse into those who are actually making it.
A handful of resumes and documents were discovered by Superannuation, listing various employees that may be working on the new hardware.
Among these is Jeff Faulkner, with Gematsu (http://www.winrumors.com/microsoft-employees-reveal-theyre-working-on-next-generation-xbox/) reporting that his LinkedIn profile (http://www.linkedin.com/in/jefffaulknercd) had him listed as "Xbox Nex Gen Creative Director," though the profile seems to have been altered since the discovery. Faulkner is set to speak at London's Typo expo, however, and the event describes him (http://typolondon.com/index.php?node_id=5.33&lang_id=1) as "Creative Director for Xbox Next Generation, where he guides the vision for Xbox's User Experience Design across Social Media, User Experience, Entertainment, Gesture and Voice Input, Information Design and Brand and Visual design." Also listed is senior creative director Jonathan Harris (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/jonathan-harris/5/1aa/767), who is busy "designing the next generation of entertainment."
