Sattelite Imagery To Be Used in Search for Missing Microsoft Executive
In his blog, Amazon CTO Werner Vogel, a longtime friend of Jim Gray, the missing Microsoft executive that is considered among other things to be the father of transaction processing, reports that private efforts are underway to use sattellite imagery and online mapping servics to try and find the boat that Jim Gray set sail on three days ago.
The Coast Guard recently reported that it is having trouble locating the missing boat using conventional search methods. Gray, a leading architect of Microsoft's SQL Server database, is widely admired across all spectrums of the technology community that is marshalling its collective resources to help find him -- Michael Vizard
