I knew that the Poincare Conjecture had to be in the news recently because I was getting a bunch of search engine referrals for it, and here it is: Via Slashdot, a Reuters story that doesn't really tell us anything we didn't already know. Does its appearance as news mean there's actual progress since this 2003 Mathworld story? I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem like it to me - the Yahoo! filing under "Oddly Enough" would seem to be a clue. But hey, I could be wrong.
