  Star Trek project - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Star Trek was the code name given to a prototype project at Apple Computer during 1992 and 1993.
Star Trek was to be a version of the Macintosh operating system which ran on Intel-compatible x86 personal computers (at that time, the Mac OS ran only on Apple's own computers based on the Motorola 68000 architecture).
Ten years after Project Star Trek, it became possible to natively run Darwin, the Unix-based core of Mac OS X, on the x86 platform, by virtue of its open source Apple Public Source License.

 Star Trek   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The thrill of working on this project was that since in its execution, I was almost creating a NEW episode, it was awesome to actually cut shots and dialogue in a way to give new inflection and thrust to the characters and scenarios.
The project was and still is very special to me. It marked the return to working in the medium I always loved, yet had hardly dabbled in for the prior 10 years, since the completion of my film school thesis, Masquerade in 1986.
The film also has the dubious distinction of being premiered at the 35th Star Trek New York Creation Con on September 8, 2001, where it was embarrassingly screened using the Con's "state of the art" AV equipment.

Star Trek fans, united in their support for the franchise, have launched a large-scale demonstration this morning in front of the main gates at Paramount Pictures, the studio where the show is produced.
In a coordinated world-wide protest effort that rivals the ones in the 1960's when the first Star Trek faced cancellation, fans are coming out in droves, united by two things, their love of Trek, and a commitment to Enterprise, the series that has been cancelled by UPN.
Eugene "Rod" Roddenberry, son of Star Trek creator Gene, was there with a camera crew to record the demonstration for "Trek Nation," his ongoing documentary project.

 Gay, Lesbian & Bisexual Star Trek
Star Trek's failure to reflect the full diversity of human (never mind alien) sexual orientation is of course only one symptom of a larger problem that has plagued this franchise (indeed much of mainstream science-fiction) from its inception.
In 1987, veteran Trek writer David Gerrold (author of the original episode The Trouble with Tribbles) accompanied Gene Roddenberry to a Star Trek convention in Boston where Roddenberry was asked by Franklin Hummel, then-director of the Gaylaxians, if there would be a gay character on The Next Generation.
Instead, gay Star Trek fans - if there were any left - were treated to a contrived love story between Picard and a non-recuring female character, and to a bubble bath scene featuring Troi and Riker.

Excited by the possibilities, the Apple contingent obtained CEO John Sculley's blessing, and the two companies immediately began working together on a project that came to be called Star Trek, because it would boldly go where no Mac had gone before: the Intel platform.
Each Star Trek engineer was given an office with a Mac and a 486 PC clone donated by Intel.
