There is an _excellent_ article on the Heise Newsticker (in german). This is one of the few I've seen that has all the facts right and it gives a little extra info, too (i.e. it mentions Crandall's new book, Prime Numbers, as a source for info on the DWT). Worthwhile to check out if you read german.
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/as-06.12.01-000/ Now that the news is official, a big CONGRATS to Michael, George, Scott and all Mersenne hunters out there. Steve Harris and I will meet in Munich tonight and have a "Prost!!" to the new prime. 6pm pacific time is 1am MET - let's see if we can stay up to sync with the California crowd for a toast!
