An orange painted box called a black box by our government. Go figure.

Yes, a month ago. Look there for photos, they are copyrighted and I am not linking them here as images.

Wikipedia has more about this recent recovery:

The BEA announced that on 26 April, after a 12-hour dive by the Remora 6000, the flight data recorder chassis had been found, although without the crash-survivable memory unit, which is the actual data storage medium. On 1 May the memory unit was found and lifted on board the Île de Sein by the ROV.

Upon examination the recorders were found to be in good shape, and here is the data from them (just the quick facts, for the moment.) The next step is to simulate likely scenarios until the replay matches what really happened. Only the airspeed is suspect, other instruments were OK all along, so this should be very much doable.
