Maybe by the time you attracted their attention they already did their (visible, like a device malfunction) job, and want to not leave traces of what they exactly did exactly to trigger that problem.
why stop at evolution? The bible teaches a lot of things, and should be the holy truth and must be respected, teached at the school and put in practice in the state as a whole. Don't let common sense stop you doing something that could sound weird, unreasonable or just criminal from a modern point of view, you know that the bible must be right in every word and must be taken literally. But please, do it just in your state and let the people freely flee from there if they want.
Maybe that way the rest of the world will learn from that experience, and eventually the few survivors will be able to reintegrate to society or at least be put in jail.
At last Microsoft figured out how to defeat that law. Instead of doubling the speed up the PC or the OS, now the goal is slowing down the user. A breakthrough in computer science.
Could be required that funds for the campaing don't come from "donations" (i.e. mandated tv/media space for each candidate to ensure a fair exposition for each to voters, banning other ways to do campaing). Could be far more transparency that is now not just for president, but for all government, of their money (before, during, and after their mandate) and related positions, Wikileaks should not be a need for the citizens to audit what the people they elect actually do.
If you got it, no matter if got activated or not because your machine is not the full target system, then you should be able to demand it (specially if got delivered to you in the way that the maker intended to, is not like you stole it)
Why use social engineering when they have already the legal weapons to make apple to give your data in a silver plate by court order, or even without it?
There is the limitation of the media and the limitation of the receiver. With the appropiate culture, you could see blondes, brunettes and redheads in falling letters.
They done the same big break with KDE from 3.x to 4.0, and still today, more than 4 years later and 9 revisions of it, lot of people refuse to use it in linux. But at least was an UI meant by the designers for the desktop, not one for tablet/touchscreen forced to run in computers without a lot of the implied hardware.
the summary is written in another font, so i must disagree.
Ok, because of that and that the choosing on the font probably is influenced by other things, popular enough (don't know, i.e. old prints of the bible or old style scientific papers) written in that font or similar enough ones in key aspects that rigs our judgement.
See what they did with Lewis Padgett's Mimsy Were the Borogoves. Sometimes being just ignored and leaving they great work unspoiled by hollywoodisms is a good thing.
You may or may not believe in global warming causing hurricanes, but if it could take down a good part of internet then is a cyberthreat, could be even seen as cyberterrorism. What country we should invade this time to prevent that danger?
Would add dry or wet to environment, but what about the internal factors, like when tired, or after doing strong physical activity, or changing food diet, or even maybe hormonal activity, could that give different readings, no matter how well built is that device?
This PKDick's short story plays with the paradoxes of going to the future (and coming back) instead of going the past. Politics wanted to know if what they choose would be for good, send a time traveler to the future to know that and something that wouldnt ever happen happens because of doing that travel. There was about physical things, but with just information things can become weird fast.
Both being able to change the future and knowing it is a not a good thing, could end being not able to change it or what you knew was wrong (because you changed your own future actions based on that knowledge). In the story, something totally out of the map could happen to fix that conflict. Thats why in Foundation people of Terminus shouldnt don't know about psychohistory.

DEA will continue with this proceeding from now on.

but in just a day you will only learn to cook (or code) spaguetti.

If they probably are using a GPL library for decoding/uncompressing, they could be sued to release the code to be compliant with the license.
Your world has installed the Lawyers addon. Now everything you do becomes risky, no matter how harmless or common sense it seem to be.

Unless they move you first somewhere else (i.e. Guantanamo Bay) and to it there. Anyway, waterboarding the weapon of choice there.
The bad part is that 1984, like a lot of fiction, could pale next to current (or near future) reality. Would be like saying "Murphy was an optimist"

What of the scientists behind the simulation we are living in decide to do the same?

The elements of critical thinking were already disrupted in the people that authorized that kind of things, no need to look elsewhere.

matter how they are used too. So far looks like weapons of mass economy destruction
By the time they realize that are doing all things as being part of google won't care if they become assimilated or not.
Probably calling it amulet would be pretty fitting, it would be pure luck if it manage to uniquely identify you in all possible situations.

They send ships to heaven while forgetting that here is the legal hell.
