How many Security Professionals does it Take to tell Google that it could be more secure?

And the answer is......37. You can put 37 different security gurus into one room and I can almost guarantee that if you bring up any current security topic, you will always hear pros and cons to each side of the story and its actual impact from a security standpoint. Give these professionals the topic of Making services within google such as gmail default to using high levels of encryption via SSL, and you have an unanimous agreement(its a no brainer). That is was occured in sending a letter over to google, in which google responded the very same day on their blog. To me, that is making an impact, and you are making google consider decisions that will affect a lot of users and a large impact to the overall security of the internet. I can properly justify that statement being that anything Google is doing, could some way impact the entire status of the internet.

Pretty Cool Stuff.
