I like the idea of taking old BBC sci-fi and rebooting with a budget. It worked for Dr. Who and (to an arguable extent with the film) Hitchhiker's Guide.
What about The Tomorrow People? I know it got a reboot already in the 90's (which showed for a second or two on Nickelodeon), but I think that it would play well in the modern era with privacy concerns, heightened technology and terrorist threats.
Or they could ruin it, which wouldn't bother the vast majority of those who never saw either incarnation.
Bungie's answer, one year later, was Marathon. Marathon kept the gameplay of DOOM and added a sophisticated story. We can credit later FPS gameplay to games like Wolf3D (I always preferred the original Wolfenstein on Apple II myself...), but in terms of integrating story into the game Bungie was the company which set the stage. Competing deceptive AI's telling your character what to do was very new at the time. Not to mention the multiplayer aspect with custom map mods and the genesis of LAN gaming.
In DOOM, there was no cake.
In Marathon we met characters who could evolve into telling us a lie about it. I'm sure that GlaDOS would have enjoyed Durandal's company.
The problem with enterprise clients upgrading their OS (Vista, Windows 7) or switching to a different OS (OS X, Linux) is that of convenience. What division volunteers to opt for a different OS when they can keep on using XP, when they have thousands and thousands of man-hours of experience troubleshooting common and recognizable problems for their end users in other departments? All OSes will have inevitable issues, especially at the end-user level. Training the rest of the company in a new OS has to be a low priority for any IT dept.
Link or it didn't happen.
I'm pretty surprised none of my customers at the camera store I work in would have mentioned this. B&W film is the only segment of film (for us, at least) which experiences year-for-year growth, due to the many schools in the area which teach photography and printing using B&W darkrooms.
Apple Computer's never-ending lawsuits from Apple Corp would crop up again were the computer company to begin to sign artists. Were Apple (computer) to outright buy Apple (Corp), the iTunes brand would be strengthened through the Beatles collection and the opportunity to sign new artists. The threat of this kind of ownership from production-to-delivery of music to the current labels could cause some friction, however. It is also possible that this could be grounds for anti-trust action.

We have a dilemma- clean and renewable energy that requires us to microwave Earth. Mmmm. Global warming vs energy needs all over again.

I'm just glad for her sake that she got her suit back after the end of Super Metroid. Remember when she ran so fast that her suit fell right off?

"I evaluated OpenOffice.org 3.1 under the 32-bit version of Windows Vista..." Found the bug!
I always thought there were only 10 types of people. Those who understand binary and those who don't.
