A Good Reason To Go Full-Time SSL For Gmail 530
Ashik Ratnani writes with this snippet from Hungry Hackers: "A tool that automatically steals IDs of non-encrypted sessions and breaks into Google Mail accounts has been presented at the Defcon hackers' conference in Las Vegas. Last week, Google introduced a new feature in Gmail that allows users to permanently switch on SSL and use it for every action involving Gmail, not just authentication. Users who did not turn it on now have a serious reason to do so, as Mike Perry, the reverse engineer from San Francisco who developed the tool, is planning to release it in two weeks."

I know this is being pedantic, but you are missing a period after the quote or you should have moved it outside the quotes. The urge is too strong since you seem to be so happy harping on missing periods...
My girlfriend has been missing her period. Should I be worried?
