It's Friday, March 24th and Following Revelations that the CIA Developed Snooping Tools for Apple Mac Computers and iPhones
In a statement to Tech Crunch, Cupertino has responded by saying the exploits are outdated and were dealt with years ago. Apple wants to assure users their devices are safe and secure, and that the malware detailed by Wikileaks would only work on the iPhone 3G. So, if you're still using one, it might be time for an upgrade. Yes, Apple also said they had no special deal with Wikileaks and were treating their findings as they would any bug report.
As for what the CIA has cooked up since the era of the iPhone 3G, who knows? Twitter is always on the brink of financial collapse, rummaged around in their drunk drawer recently and suddenly remembered they owned tweet deck. They thought, "Hey, maybe we can make some money with this thing." On Thursday, numerous users posted clues that Twitter may use tweet deck as a foundation for a paid Twitter service with perks such as advanced publishing features, no ads, and more. So, how much? $20 a month has been floated, but so has $5 a month figure that doesn't cut into our beer budget.
Twitter acquired tweet deck way back in 2011 for $40 million, and it looks like it could return soon for a fee. Everyone wants to live forever or at least for a little while longer than nature currently allows. New research shows that after a while, your blood gets old, and you also get old. So, if you can make your blood young again, might that help slow down the aging process? Looks like it might, researchers in Germany say that Young Blood, which has been genetically modified, appears to have health benefits and may reverse some aging processes. It's part of stem cell research, and while the investigation is ongoing, the signs are promising.

But before that, let's delve deeper into each of these topics individually.
Apple's Response to CIA Snooping Tools
In a statement to Tech Crunch, Cupertino has responded by saying the exploits are outdated and were dealt with years ago. This response aims to assure users that their devices are safe and secure. The malware detailed by Wikileaks would only work on the iPhone 3G, so if you're still using one, it might be time for an upgrade.
Apple also clarified that they had no special deal with Wikileaks and were treating their findings as they would any bug report. This statement aims to reassure users that Apple takes security seriously and is not involved in any potential espionage activities.
The CIA's Snooping Tools
As for what the CIA has cooked up since the era of the iPhone 3G, who knows? The CIA has been developing snooping tools for Apple Mac computers and iPhones, but it's unclear what specific capabilities these tools have. It's worth noting that the development of such tools raises serious concerns about national security and individual privacy.

The Potential Benefits of Young Blood
New research on Young Blood has shown promising results. Researchers in Germany have been studying the effects of genetically modified blood on aging processes, and they've found that it may have health benefits.
It appears that Young Blood could help slow down the aging process, potentially increasing lifespan or improving overall health. This discovery is part of stem cell research, which aims to understand how cells can be manipulated to promote regenerative medicine.
The Investigation into Young Blood
While the investigation into Young Blood is ongoing, researchers are cautiously optimistic about its potential benefits. The study of Young Blood is still in its early stages, and more research is needed to fully understand its effects on human health.
However, this breakthrough has sparked excitement among researchers and scientists, who see it as a promising area of study for future medical treatments.
