    Very cool. Does "recovered in deep waters" mean it sank?

    James Gosling
    Chief Software Architect Bio >
    James Gosling received a BSc in Computer Science from the University of Calgary, Canada in 1977. He received a PhD in Computer Science from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1983. The title of his thesis was “The Algebraic Manipulation of Constraints”. He was previously a VP & Fellow at Sun Microsystems.
    He has built satellite data acquisition systems, a multiprocessor version of Unix, several compilers, mail systems and window managers. He has also built a WYSIWYG text editor, a constraint based drawing editor and a text editor called `Emacs’ for Unix systems.
    At Sun his early activity was as lead engineer of the NeWS window system. He did the original design of the Java programming language and implemented its original compiler and virtual machine. He has been a contributor to the Real-Time Specification for Java, and a researcher at Sun labs where his primary interest was software development tools. He then was the Chief Technology Officer of Sun’s Developer Products Group and the CTO of Sun’s Client Software Group. He briefly worked for Oracle after the acquisition of Sun. After a year off, he worked at Google.



    I added another video.

    @ erco

    It didn't sink that I know about. It can survive high waves , storms, etc

    Most interesting to me was the method of harvesting wave energy for propulsion. I bet there are also ingenious ways to take advantage of tides too for energy production..
