	Talking tech with Bill Joy \| Newsmakers \| CNET News.com
		Joy: It certainly seemed to have heightened an awareness of terrorism and also heightened the awareness of the possibility of the abuse of technology.
		Joy: I think there has to be a balance between the profit motive, which drives a lot of creativity and ethical behavior, and the responsibility to manage things, which can be abused.
		Joy: In general, technology is a very powerful force for openness and change.

	From 'Long Boom' to days of doom and gloom
		Joy's view is that the prosperity of the high-tech industry can be realized only if its participants become better stewards of potentially dangerous technologies, notably robotics, nanotechnology, and genetic engineering -- all of which are enabled by computer science.
		Joy, who outlined his thesis at InfoWorld's CTO Forum conference in San Francisco, believes that the virtual and the physical worlds could be catastrophically affected by unmarshalled technologies and that high-tech leaders need to be more conscientious and proactive in order to pre-empt world disaster in the future.
		Bill Joy: It is clear that within the next century there will be very grave dangers from certain technologies because they are basically military-class in their ability to cause harm [and] because they are based on information.

		Joy said Jxta is his "incubation project," which Sun has been working on for "about six months to a year, finishing some code to implement the concepts of the goals we had."
		Joy said he has little doubt that "innovation in this space is going to occur in lots and lots of small groups.
		"Bill Joy is a phenomenal visionary and the one thing about him is he's consistent, but he is not a guy that is clear about creating business on top of technology," said Rymer.

	Daemon News '200008' : '"Bill Joy delivers USENIX keynote address "' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Bill Joy of Sun Microsystems delivered the keynote address on 21 June 2000 at the USENIX Technical Conference in San Diego.
		Joy did discuss two features absent from Java that he would like to include; both are of interest to researchers doing scientific computations.
		In discussing Joy's address with other attendees, there seemed to be agreement that the keynote was not as technically interesting as USENIX talks usually are, and some ideas (such as "evolving" correct systems genetically) met with skepticism.

		Joy, who was the principal designer of the Berkeley version of Unix and one of the lead developers of Java, last made a big splash in the press in 1998, when he was all pumped up about Sun's new networking technology Jini.
		But these days Joy is engaged in an altogether different kind of crusade: He wants us to slow down the technological race, and rein in technologies -- specifically nanotechnology, genetic engineering and robotics -- that he believes could ultimately endanger human life as we know it.
		Joy spelled out in a recent issue of Wired magazine his fear that modern technologists may unthinkingly be heading down the same path as the physicists who built the atomic bomb.

	Bill Joy leaves Sun \| The Register
		Bill Joy, Sun Microsystems chief scientist and co-founder, is leaving the company, moving on to "different challenges".
		Joy is also know for striking fear in the hearts of Wired readers when he pronounced that nanotechnology may lead to the world being covered in "gray goo."
		Joy managed to come up with the JXTA project for peer-to-peer networking as one of his last major contributions to Sun.

		That is not to say that Joy also has departed,in fact, he is telecommuting from Aspen, Colo. Joy, burned out by the worsening traffic and punishing grind of life in the Valley, approached McNealy years ago and said he was moving on, sources said.
		McNealy told Joy he would do whatever he could to keep him happy, and shortly thereafter, Sun's chief scientist was setting up a new home in the Rockies with his wife, Sara, and two children, a 6-year-old boy and a 3-year-old girl.
		Joy's myriad accomplishments include leading the design of one of the earliest examples of open-source development, Berkeley Unix; creating Sun's Network File System, which propelled forward the then-revolutionary notion of distributed computing; and contributing to the architecture of Sun's SPARC chip.

		Bill Joy is one of the industry's leading visionaries, innovators and influencers.
		Joy's importance is sure to grow even more now that Sun has made the controversial decision to maintain a tight grip on the technical course for Java rather than hand off that work to an international standards body.
		Joy's work at the University of California at Berkeley on the Berkeley version of Unix is viewed as an early example of open source operating system software.

		Apparently, Bill Joy is not a "venture partner," as referenced in the WSJ.
		Any investments he makes, Joy clarified, will be on behalf of Kleiner Perkins, and so he'll not be making the sort of co-investments that some so-called venture partners make using their own money.
