David Lawrence: Alright the Geek Speak part of our show is where I take the tech term and I turn it into plain English before your very ears. Sometimes these terms are very confusing and I show you the way here and this term you will hear a lot and it sometimes gets confused with another term Java, the Java programming language. This portion of the show is sponsored by Mac OS X Unwired, the new book by Tom Negrino and Dori Smith. It*s a complete guide to wireless information for Mac users and you can find it at www.macosxunwired.com. You get that new Macintosh. You want to figure out how to use it online wirelessly this is where you want to go. We are also brought to you by the amazing Safety Laser Flare the battery-operated device that replaces traditional break apart strike them and stick them in the ground kind of flares. You can find out all the information on this amazing little device at www.safetylaser.com, finally this portion of the show powered by www.GoDaddy.com. I use GoDaddy exclusively to register my domains and I have saved thousands of dollars doing it. And right now I can save you a bunch of money too, 10% on your entire order.

David Lawrence: Alright Java, Java Programming Language. Now this is a language like other languages that are used to create programs. In this case they are keyed around websites and in the beginning it was intended to be a replacement actually. Sun Microsystems created this. It was intended to be a replacement for the most popular programming language of the day which was C++ but it never quite got there. People are still programming in C++ but it did find a great home on the web. So much about Java was built around how to make websites more interactive, more versatile to execute things while websites were opened rather than just sitting there and showing you images and text. And to do this they created a series of pieces that were installed right on your computer called the Java Virtual Machine. And those differ whether you have a Mac or Windows machine or a UNIX machine but how you program in Java doesn't change at all. So once you program in Java it will work on all of those platforms because of the Java Virtual Machine or the JVM that you usually already have installed on those machines once you buy them from the store. Now sometimes you know Microsoft noses its way into things and in the case of the development of Java they did just that. They began to expand on Java. Sun didn't like that, took them to court. For a while there Windows did not have a Java Virtual Machine now they do, now everything is back to hunky-dory. If you find you are having issues when you go to sites that have games associated with them like Pogo or the Yahoo gaming site or they kind of switching over to Flash over there or financial sites that maybe show you real time stock prices and so on. You might want to update your Java Virtual Machine and you can go to www.microsoft.com and check that out. www.apple.com the new Apple operating system Mac OS X has a great Java Virtual Machine built into it and it*s all native too which is kind of cool. But that's Java. Now don't confuse Java with JavaScript two different things. They share the same wording at the beginning but very different things, very, very different things. We might talk about JavaScript at some point in the future but that's it. That is this hour*s Geek Speak Java right here on Online Tonight.

David Lawrence: It is 25 minutes past the hour. Let*s go back to the phones at 180039 Online 18003966546. Is it Ritchie? Ritchie are you there?

Ritchie: Yeah how are you doing David?

David Lawrence: I am doing okay. Thanks for asking.

Ritchie: Yeah I recently purchased a Maxtor OneTouch 2 as per your recommendations.

David Lawrence: Its great little machine.
