New, by @Sarahp: A fake app that was masquerading as password manager LastPass on the App Store has been removed, whether by Apple or the fake app’s developer is yet unclear — Apple has not commented.
"That such an obviously fake app got through Apple’s App Review process is a bad look for the tech giant, which has been arguing against new regulations, like the EU’s Digital Markets Act, by claiming these laws would compromise customer safety and privacy."
"But here's the thing: being able to say, 'wherever you get your podcasts' is a radical statement. Because what it represents is the triumph of exactly the kind of technology that's supposed to be impossible: open, empowering tech that's not owned by any one company, that can't be controlled by any one company, and that allows people to have ownership over their work and their relationship with their audience."

I have huge respect for people doing biology/drug discovery.
Take for example: This article about Alzheimer's may have once spread from person to person.
The process happens so slow. It takes 20-30 years for the disease to show-up since the exposure of the patients with the mis-folded protein in a drug at the time.
In that period, there are multiple factors that can cause the Alzheimer's. Pinpointing to the exact cause is like finding a hay in a stack but they did it.
Scientists have published the first evidence that Alzheimer’s can be transmitted from person to person. Patients received human growth hormone from the tissue of donated brains.
