PUBLISHER'S SUMMARY:
The Technology and Business section of Scientific American looks at "spray-on dressings" and dissolving bandages as new technologies that promise to change medicine. In "Unplugged but Unbowed," hear about convicted hacker Kevin Mitnick. In the more than five years since he was arrested and sent to prison, Internet speeds have increased as dramatically (by a factor of sixteen) as the prices of operating systems have dropped (the source code that Mitnick stole from Sun Microsystems was at the time allegedly worth $80 million and now retails for $100). But breaking into computers has not grown significantly more difficult, the recently paroled hacker told questioners at a May e-business conference in New York City sponsored by Business Week.Plus, "Anti-Gravity" considers alcohol, tobacco, and the analysis of large numbers of people: listen to several surprising insights about the things we put in our mouths. These articles originally appeared in Scientific American for July 2000.
