Make Your Webmail More Secure

The convenience of web applications is unrivaled. It's especially true for web-based e-mail services, where all your mail is stored in one central location and remains easily accessible from any computer on the internet.

But using web-based e-mail poses significant security risks, especially if you use a Wi-Fi connection or a public internet connection like a university or a library.

Here are some tips for keeping your Google, Yahoo and Hotmail accounts secure and safe from personal data snoops.

==GMail==

Google's free mail service allows users to log in over an unencrypted HTTP connection. This opens up the possibility of a malicious hacker grabbing your password out of thin air if you're connecting over Wi-Fi.

The easiest way to correct this problem is to force Gmail to always use a secure HTTPS connection.

Water on Moon - Ours dreams are not far away!

Water on Moon found by Chandrayaan 1 of ISRO is confirmed by US space agency NASA. NASA scientists have revealed that India’s maiden lunar mission Chandrayaan-I had traced water molecules on the moon’s surface and thanked ISRO for making the discovery possible.

Chandrayaan 1 was India’s first unmanned lunar probe launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation in October 2008. Chandrayaan operated until August 2009 and carried five Indian instruments and six from abroad, including M3 and another from NASA, three from the European Space Agency (ESA), and one from Bulgaria. M3 (short name for – Moon mineralogy mapper) is the instrument responsible for finding out traces of moon water.

Acording to the news - there may be a water cycle in which the molecules are broken down and reformulated over a two week cycle, which is the length of a lunar day. This does not constitute ice sheets or frozen lakes: the amounts of water in a given location on the Moon aren’t much more than what is found in a desert here on Earth. But there’s more water on the Moon than originally thought
