Language to go in depth

I'm in college and have learned C, C++, Java and some database languages. I'm disappointed though that a lot of the things taught are on theory and not much on practical use.

The reason I went into Computer Science is because I'm very curious as to how software like napster, real player, google, mobile communication apps, GPS systems, hacking and other cool stuff are done.

Can someone tell me what language is mostly used to create any of these? I guess I want to know which language to concentrate on. Also, it can really help if you can guide me to readings or sites I can go to to learn all the neat stuff.

Well, this depends on what area you look at as to which language is more popular. By far I would probably say that C/C++ and Java are the leaders.
There are many popular languages out there and most of them can accomplish the same task.
