I’ll admit, I don’t encrypt my emails or hard drive. But if I was dealing in confidential information or work I wanted to make sure remained private, I would make sure that I had those files encrypted.

A US Federal Court just ruled that you have no expectation of privacy for your emails if they are hosted by a third party. I hope that there will be a major email provider (Gmail anyone?) who figures out an easy way to implement private-key encryption that works on the fly and keeps your email private when you’re not reading it on your computer. Heck, that tech should be built into every browser. Should be a no brainer.
