Java jive

If you think the shakes from drinking too much java are bad, see what Java on your computer can do.
Java has had so many security holes that the Department of Homeland Security recently recommended computer users disable Java. Apple and Microsoft have sent out updates that disable Java in the browser, and Oracle has pushed out updates to re-enable it and hopefully fix the problem.
If you don’t absolutely positively need Java, I recommend you remove it from your computer. You’d be surprised how few things actually require it, and there are simple workarounds for most of them.
