Time for a Fetch Refresh?

In the Fetch FTP client, if you see a time stamp like "As of 6/19/10 2:29 PM" above the file list, that means that Fetch is re-using a file list it downloaded earlier. Click the swooshing-arrow refresh button (located beside the time stamp) to refresh the list.

Facebook Adds Secure Connection Option

Send Article to a Friend

Facebook has added an always-on encrypted connection option to its settings. This enables you to use the Web site on public networks, like a coffeeshop Wi-Fi hotspot, without fear that your session could be hijacked after login. Simple software can be used to extract a Facebook session identifier, but a secure connection defeats that attack. The feature is rolling out to all users over the next couple of weeks.favicon follow link
