Links (courtesty of Slashdot)

I've piled up some links from Slashdot in the last few days that make for excellent reading:

A Korean research team has developed a way to selectively age and kill cancer cells for the first time in the world.

A Business Week article on Gary Stern, the owner of Stern Pinball, the last pinball manufacturer in the world.
This URL is going to blow up the page formatting, so I'm putting half on one line and the rest on the second line.

An article from The Economist on the use of computers to generate mathematical proofs.

Finally, from Wired, Jacques Cousteau's grandson has built a submarine that is, by all appearances, a great white shark. Genius idea and a fascinating article. The pictures alone are amazing.
