google space/sky?and other things i need to know

[eah]

I have read about this and tried to follow some instructions as to how to access it.But somehow I got in a mess so I need an idiots guide on how to install it please?Google space or Google sky?

Also as I am learning computer terms slowly please can someone tell me what a cookie is and phishing and pop-ups?

Also I`ve also been on a newspaper forum recently and they use terms like "bump" and some acronyms that I presume are text speak....could you tell me the most common ones please? am presuming WLF is rude??


Many thanks in advance.....

to install google earth click this link below to take you to the download page.

http://earth.google.com/

click the green 'download' box in the top right and select "RUN" it will then start the installation process.

google sky is an add on to google earth that lets you view constallations. I think it is now included when you download google earth.

Phishing is the term given when somebody tries to get you to falsly disclose your financial details via email so they can gain access to your money. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing

Many thanks Souldriver for your answers-I have already installed Google earth so I`ll look at it again! If it`s not there I`ll re-install it to see if it`s now included,......!
