    Meanwhile, scientists are puzzled by the dog brain simulator, unsure of whether they've created something endearing or stupid.

    Decide for yourself in Fable 3, due out Winter 2010.

    ok.. it says nothing about consciousness in there

    "I used Zoe's original avatar program to search and download any data on Tamara Adams — school records, medical, DNA — well, you've heard the list. About 300 megabytes worth."

    Most of those records would be text and the encoded DNA information I'm assuming would cover whats different from a standard human rather then every single piece. It seems less like their trying to put someones consciousness in a robotic body and more like their trying to make a doll of the person out of the sum of their experiences/achievements.

    @LetaDafoe: I had the same question, but according to io9, they left out some spoilers. It really is the consciousness.

    Perhaps, if you're very young, or the elevator doesn't go to the top floor. Over time you're going to have lots of legacy code building up and lots of old images and video piling into hidden file directories that get lost when SENILITY.EXE starts to kick in, and you have massive bloatware that bogs down the system until it starts going back to 16-bit color.
