CSI: Miami does "Down with corporate greed" on January 8, 2012

Solamerge phones are the technical angle on CSI: Miami on January 8, 2012, with the CEO (Matthew Stone) getting murdered by a smart bullet to the brain. There is lots of voice-activated gimmickry in the opening. And then protestors shouting "Down with corporate greed." Themes ripped from the headlines?

The CEO had cancer, but the girlfriend said he was going to beat it. The girlfriend used to be a coder, and noted "Everyone envied him." There was Matthew and there was the rest of the world. The tv in the living quarters responded to the voice commands of everyone in the room, and a close look at the tv revealed a bug.

Blackburn (a previous character on CSI: Miami) bugged Stone, because he was afraid Stone would give away company secrets. So, there is one IP angle.

The message texted to Stone right before his death, "The time is now 321," was (seemingly) sent from Heidi Taylor. Taylor said Stone is the symbol of economic inequality He was the epitome of corporate greed. Taylor denied sending the text messages to Stone. It was later determined Taylor's phone was hacked.

Lunugo hair leads to the girlfriend, who acknowledged taking the will at Matthew's request.

Stone had a grade 4 glioma. Investigating Stone's brain revealed a microchip and parts of a smart bullet, which had rudders to change direction. There was an earlier partner of Stone.

The former partner Raj was included in the will at the last moment. Stone did not trust his own lawyers to do the job. They were nicknamed "The Siamese Twins" at computer camp. The cell phone company was making the PW10 rifle, which fired smart bullets. Both prototype guns were stolen 48 hours before the murder. There was a leak. Matthew was telling people about the guns.

Then, a bank robbery in progress at Sweetwater (Miami National Bank), using the smart guns. But the "smart gun" ended up shooting the robber with the smart gun. 55 Olsen St. is the address of Raj. Raj said Stone paid Raj to shoot Stone.

The only way to save Tim's life.

Magnetic stripping on a seeming form letter sent to Taylor. Jerry Blackburn was mass producing the smart gun (with production including the faults).

Test results on the prototypes of the smart gun were falsified. The ATF revoked the license to sell. Blackburn gets arrested.

Stone left a videoclip on his phone, which was shown at the end of the episode. "The time is now."
