Java Online Games
By: Michael Colucci
After Shockwave, Java is the most popular tool for developing free online games. It is a popular programming language which was developed by James Gosling during the 1990s. It is somewhat related to C++ but is much more simple, and is an object oriented language. Java was developed because C++ was considered to be too complex and when using it there were many errors.C++ also lacked the ability for distributed programming. Gosling and his colleagues wanted to produce a system that could be used on various platforms, from computer to handheld devices. By 1994 Java begin to be used on the internet. They felt that the internet would become interactive, and this would be the perfect environment to use their programming language. They were right. Java has become one of the most well known platforms in use today on the internet.
Many developers of free online games have quickly realized its potential. While Shockwave has replaced Java as the most popular engine used for online games, Java is still the tool of choice among many developers. Java became very popular when Netscape decided to support the program with their browsers. Most people use Java by the "applets" which are supported by their online browsers.
Yahoo has often been credited with heavily using Java to produce online games. Yahoo games is the portion of their website in which players can play games by themselves or against other players. While most of these games are Java applets, others have to be downloaded onto the computer. Reviews are even featured where users can post their thoughts about the quality of the game. Yahoo is one of the most prominent promoters of free online games. Everything from fantasy sports to card games are available.
Despite this, there are some criticisms of the Java programming language. Shockwave has a 3D engine which is much more powerful, and many developers have chose it rather than Java. Others complain that it is not a very pure object oriented programming language. Those who dislike object oriented languages will not design free online games with Java. Programs written in Java may also run slower than programs written in other languages.
Despite these complaints, Java has become one of the most popular languages used for developing independent games. Advances in this language should allow it to produce games which are much higher in quality and graphical detail. Many popular games can be played at the Java website.

Hardware inside Xbox 360 Reviewed and Explained
By: Aaron Brooks
Gaming has reached new levels with newer and meaner machines coming into the market. The Xbox 360, PSP3, and Wii are all set to fulfill gaming dreams. What makes a console powerful and state-of-art is its hardware. The Xbox 360 has a 20GB hard drive; wireless controllers; headset; DVD remote; Ethernet cable; AV cables; and external power supply.
• Inside the mean gaming machine, the Xbox 360 is a powerful computer. The Xbox 360 harbors a customized IBM Power PC CPU with three processing cores with 3.2 GHz power. The system has a 3.2 GHz tri-core PowerPC based CPU and a 500 MHZ GPU.
• The ATI graphics processor has a capacity of 500 million triangles per second. It has a chip, Xenos, designed by ATI. This raises the 3D effects and graphics to astounding levels of clarity and definition. The X box 360 is said to have a 16 giga samples p/s fill rate along with 4X antialiasing and 48 billion shader operations per second and a9 billion dot product operations per second. The specifications are breathtaking and according to the CNET editors review, " it is hard to compare or comment on a machine with futuristic capabilities and one that is yet to have a comparison." What the Xbox 360 will have is realistic graphics.
• The memory system is GenX and has a 512 MB of 700 megahertz GDDR3 RAM on a 128-bit bus. The system has a unified memory architecture which is shared by the CPU and GPU.
• The bandwidth is high and is utilized for z-buffering, alpha blending, and antialiasing. The system is designed to be efficient and save time and space on the GPU die.
• The Xbox 360 has a six channel Dolby Digital surround sound. The sound files are encoded and an MPEG-2 decoder is included in the DVD video playback. The voice communication is handled by the console and allows cross-game communications. The system is sophisticated and has no voice echo.
The CNET Editor's review has awarded the Xbox 360 a rating of 8.4 /10. According to the reviewers the Xbox360 will support high definition gaming. The Xbox 360, a gaming console developed by Microsoft is user-friendly and sturdy in design. The system offers downloads, communications, and excellent gaming opportunities. A GenX media hub the Xbox 360 allows playing of DVDs, CDs, TV shows, and games. It has the power and performance of a high-end gaming console which includes great networking. What is negative about the X box 360 is that it has a few design flaws that need ironing out. The power supply is oversized, the fan noisy, there is no inbuilt wireless networking, no DVI or HDMI output, a substandard DVD player, and no suitable storage for high definition content.
Opinions on the Xbox 360 are widely divided. A firm consensus can only be reached twelve months or so after the release when gamers and developers world wide begin using the console and discover the flaws and hidden facets.

Good Web Deals: 5 Cool Online Shopping Tools
By: Jamila White, "The E-Commerce DivaTM"
Whether you're shopping online or hitting the malls, make your holiday gift-giving easier, quicker, and cheaper this year with these five cool Web tools!1. Online Coupons
Shopping online? You may be surprised to find out you can get up to 25% off your order or free shipping at your favorite retailer - if you know the right code. Before you submit your online order, do a quick search to see if any discount coupon codes exist for the retailer you're shopping with. My two favorites are:
Wow Coupons: They offer online coupons for many web stores - including 1-800-Flowers, Amazon.com, Dell Computers, Gap, Lillian Vernon, Nordstrom, Red Envelope, Spiegel, Wine.com and many others. The list is updated daily, so check the site before you complete your order. Or better yet, get on their mailing list for automatic updates: www.wow-coupons.com/online-coupons.php
Google.com: Try a search for [retailer name] coupon discount code.
Bargain Bonus: This tactic also works for discounts on monthly membership sites like AOL, Match.com and eHarmony.com.
2. Offline Coupons
Smart shoppers use the web not just for online purchases, but to get good deals on offline purchases as well.
Wow Coupons offers printable coupons for popular retailers like Ann Taylor, Best Buy, Hallmark, Macy's, Sharper Image, Toys R Us and others. Be sure to pull up this site before you head out to the mall: www.wow-coupons.com/index.php (click "Retail" on the left)
Also, sign up for your favorite store's e-mail newsletter - retailers often send unadvertised coupons and specials to customers their mailing lists.
3. Find Local Sales
Serious bargain hunters often check the newspaper advertising circulars to find out about local sales, or hop from store to store to find the best price. But one great web tool, Cairo (http://www.cairo.com), lets you skip all that nonsense and search online for the best deals at stores in your area. Simply enter your zip code, and BAM! You have a comparison list of retail or grocery store sales in your area, and you can even search for a specific item.
Bargain Bonus: Cairo also helps you get refunds from stores who offer a lowest price guarantee. Simply enter an item you've already bought and they'll e-mail you if it's being sold for less by another store.
4. Compare Prices Online
Shopping comparison web sites PriceGrabber.com, MySimon.com and Froogle.com let you type in a specific item, and see who's selling it the cheapest online. MySimon.com also has great buying guides if you aren't sure which product to get. This is super handy if your teenage niece wants "that new iPod" and you don't know which one.
5. Skip the Post Office
Take the hassle out of sending greeting cards this holiday season. Hallmark (www.hallmark.com) lets you customize your own personal or business greeting cards for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and New Years. You can even upload your address list, and Hallmark will label, stamp, and mail them for you - and you don't have to set one foot in the post office! Fully customized cards start at $1.15 each, plus postage.
For an extra special touch on your greeting cards or party invitations, add a photo image of yourself, your business logo, your kids, or even your dog Charlie to your postage stamps. At Stamps.com, you can have your own personalized stamps in as little as two business days; a sheet of 20 stamps costs $16.99 (you can save more when you buy multiple sheets). photo.stamps.com

All About 3D
Anaglyph Technology:
Is 3D new? Not at all. For the longest time, mankind has been interested in creating a 3D effect on a 2D screen. Most painters created some effect of perspective in their paintings to simulate a 3D effect.
More recently, in 1853 Wilhelm Rollmann developed a technique to simulate 3D. He created anaglyph images using two color layers superimposed but offset with respect to each other to produce a depth effect. Usually the main subject remained centered while the foreground and background shifted laterally in opposite directions. When viewed with two-color glasses (the lenses are chromatically opposite in color usually red and cyan), these images produced a stereoscopic 3D effect (your brain is tricked into thinking that this picture is in 3D).
This technology has been used countless times in movie theaters, as the typical red and blue glasses are inexpensive. The movie Bwana Devil is regarded as the first of the commercial 3D movies in the 1950s. However, while the 3D effect were fun to watch, the pictures were of low quality and had strong shades of green and red.
Most DVD and Blu-ray Discs currently on the market use this technology.
Polarized (or Passive) Technology:This is where it gets interesting. Most of us have seen Avatar or other movies in IMAX 3D with polarized 3D glasses. These glasses create the illusion of three-dimensional images by restricting the light that reaches each eye, creating a stereoscopic, or 3D, effect.
To create that 3D effect, two images are projected onto the same screen through different polarizing filters. The viewer wears low-cost eyeglasses which also contain a pair of different polarizing filters. Through the filters, each eye sees a different picture (each filter allows the light which is similarly polarized and blocks the light polarized in the opposite direction). This is used to produce a three-dimensional effect by projecting the same scene into both eyes, but depicted from slightly different perspectives.
The great thing about this technology is that the glasses you need to wear to enjoy 3D are really cheap (between $1 and $10 per pair); however, most believe that the 3D effects generated through this technology are not as sharp as the ones generated through a display with active technology.
Active Technology:This technology has been adopted by most consumer electronics firms, including LG, Samsung, Panasonic, and more. With this technology, an HDTV will display one image to your left eye and one image to your right eye. Since the effective frame rate is halved, these HDTVs need to have double the refresh rate of HDTVs (60 Hz). This is why you will find that all 3D HDTVs have a minimum frame rate of 120 Hz (most have a frame rate around 240 Hz or even 480 Hz).
Active liquid crystal shutter glasses are then worn by the viewer and quickly block each eye in sequence to ensure that each eye only sees the corresponding image being displayed on the 3D TV set. The active shutter glasses are kept in sync with the HDTV using Bluetooth, infrared, or radio technology. These special glasses usually contain liquid crystals that can be made opaque, thus acting as a shutter. These glasses are battery-operated (battery life estimated at around 80 hours or so).

Choosing A Wedding Date
By: Gina Brown
The most commonly asked question you will hear when your friends and family are informed of your engagement is "When is the wedding?" Choosing a wedding date is very important because almost all of your wedding planning details will revolve around the date that you choose. Here are some things to take into consideration to help you pick a perfect date for your wedding. 
If you already know where you would like to have the ceremony and reception, you should call them and confirm what dates they have available. If you are set on a specific location, your wedding date will have to coincide with the availability of the location, especially if you have chosen a very popular location because these places tend to get booked very quickly.
Take into consideration what type of wedding you have in mind. For example, have you always dreamed of a beach wedding surrounded by the calming sounds of the ocean or a fall wedding with beautiful red and orange leaves in the background? You will have to choose a date that is appropriate in terms of temperature and seasons. In addition, if there is a particular style of dress that you have in mind, the time of year will influence your bridal attire choices.
Have you always wanted a wedding during a specific holiday such as Christmas? Christmas is a popular time because many wedding locations are already beautifully decorated at this time of year. However, getting ready for a wedding in addition to all the activities that occur during the Christmas holidays such as shopping, parties, wrapping gifts can be too much for some people.
Maybe you thought having a wedding during a holiday would be easier for your guests due to the three day weekend. Some people may appreciate that your wedding is during a long holiday weekend while it might be difficult for others because many people plan their own vacations during these times of the year.
Are there important people in your life that you feel must attend the wedding? While there will always be people who will not be able to make it, some people may be higher on your priority list than others. For example, if your maid of honor is giving birth the same month you choose to have your wedding, you may want to give her a little time after the birth to feel more comfortable in her bridesmaid dress. Or maybe your parents have a vacation already planned for the same time. Prevent scheduling conflicts as much as possible by discussing your wedding date with these important people to avoid any problems.
