Star Trek's William Shatner tells his own life story, up till now, in a book entitled Up Till Now. The Daily Mail has some compelling excerpts:
The executives believed they might make more money with Patrick Stewart's Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his Next Generation crew.
As I prepared for Kirk's final scene, I had to remind myself that this was just another performance. And I was able to do that right up until the morning of the shoot.
Kill Kirk? What are they, out of their minds? Why did I agree to this?
Gradually, I calmed down.
I die saving the universe. For my final scene I had to leap from one side of a collapsed bridge to the other. The bridge collapses and Kirk falls to his death.
My last line, was: "Oh ... my... " but I had written some other lines.
When I leapt on to the bridge I said: "Captain on the bridge," which was the way I had always announced my presence on the bridge of
the Enterprise.
And when the bridge collapsed on me I said: "Bridge on the captain." Those lines were cut.
I went home that night with a great sense of satisfaction. I didn't feel it was the end of an era, just the end of a character.
And then I sat down and wrote a 40-page treatment for a story in which Kirk comes back from the dead.
I guess the question asked most often was why did I call 911 before diving into the pool to try to save her?
It took me years to fully understand, and even then it was only because of my fourth wife, Elizabeth.
Every year on August 9, Elizabeth and I would go up to the pool in the evening. The moon is in the same position, the lights are the same.
On one of those nights I suddenly knew. The water in the pool had been still.
And somehow I had known that whether I dived in and rescued the body and then called 911, or called 911 and then did so, it would have made no difference.

Why Vista's DRM Is Bad For You: "Vista continuously spends CPU time monitoring itself, trying to figure out if you're doing something that it thinks you shouldn't. If it does, it limits functionality and in extreme cases restarts the video subsystem. We still don't know the exact details of all this, and how far-reaching it is, but it doesn't look good.
"Microsoft put all those functionality-crippling features into Vista because it wants to own the entertainment industry."

Shatner does Q&A with Macleans Magazine...
Q: You and Leonard Nimoy weren't close while you were doing Star Trek, but you are now. How did that happen?
A: I weaseled up to him and tried to be an amusing fellow. And he kept rebuffing me. I kept buying him meals. Then he relented and took me into his embrace.
Q: Who was the biggest pain in the ass?
A: Leonard Nimoy. He's so intelligent, he corrects everything I say. But then, his ass has slipped, and it's not as big a pain now.
