Useful Gmail Hack
Uncle Andrew
For those Gmail users among my readership (you two know who you are), a cool little tip to make your Gmail webmail transactions secure, thanks to Linux Activist.
Instead of typing “http://mail.google.com” into your Web browser, type “https://mail.google.com” (add an “s” after “http”). This gives you access to Gmail’s Secure Sockets Layer, which means that your transactions will be encrypted against casual and more-than-casual snooping.
If you do a lot of your Gmail at public hotspots or over a neighbor’s unsecured access point, or if you’re simply healthily paranoid, you might want to take advantage of this unpublished feature.
