Google Launches its Latest and Most Secure Version: Google SSL Beta

Posted by max On March - 29 - 2011 ADD COMMENTS

Google has recently launched its latest and most secure version, Google SSL. Google SSL is now in Beta state and soon will overcome the present version of Google. Google SSL version will be a more secure version and will let you have all the results to you in a more secure manner. With Google search over SSL, you can have an end-to-end encrypted search solution between your computer and Google. This secured channel helps protect your search terms and your search results pages from being intercepted by a third party. This provides you with a more secure and private search experience.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a protocol that helps provide secure Internet communications for services like web browsing, e-mail, instant messaging, and other data transfers. When you search over SSL, your search queries and search traffic are encrypted so they can’t be read by any intermediary party such as employers and internet service providers (ISPs).

You may find that when you open http://google.com it may get redirected to  https://encrypted.google.com which is much more secure and better. You will have the option to switch back to the basic Google version but we recommend you to use the new secure Google SSL Beta version.

In this era of technology there is never a looking back. The existing technology may seem outdated after a few months. A little time back the huge technology giant Apple came up with the amazing eBook reader, the Apple iPad. It was expected to make a revolution in the market and dominate the industry just like what Apple iPhone did. But this time around the competitors HP, Acer and Microsoft didn’t stayed back and also introduced their products in the market.

HP has been around for quiet sometime with its tablets and the touch screen technology. In January at the ICES HP introduced its new product Slate in collaboration with the tech giants Microsoft. Slate the eBook reader from HP and Microsoft is powered by Windows 7 and has all the features that were missing from its competitor the Apple iPad.

Slate lies between a powerful Smartphone and a fully functional PC. It is perfect for reading eBooks, epapers and surfing the web. Watching movies and other entertainment functionality makes this gadget simply unbeatable in its class. If you look at Slate, you will be reminded of Amazon’s Kindle but the performance and features are simply above the rest. Slate is a link between Smartphones and laptops as its specifications lies between the two. HP Slate works with Windows7 and supports all the multi-touch features. Slate comes with 3G connectivity for high speed internet access and you can remain in touch with your friends through all the social websites.

Considering its specifications, HP Slate can be termed as an Apple iPad killer. Moreover higher functionality and being less expensive than iPad, it includes many more features to keep its critics quite for a while. Having so much additional features as compared to apple’s iPad, slate definitely is in the limelight and is expected to get a good share of the e-reader’s market in future.
