Over the last two weeks, roughly since the first beta, 1459 new bugs have been reported, and 1643 bugs have been closed, so we're witnessing a lot of stabilization activity right now. More testing is in place, however, while the restless developers continue to create a rock-stable 4.5.0
Really nice to see much work being put in to stabilization, even if it means few less features:)

It seems that https://www.google.com/ is in beta testing phase and works now. I immediately changed my homepage when I found it. This may be old news, but I missed any announcements about it. I know SSL has been implemented in gmail for a while.
https://www.google.com/ may encrypt search it self, but as soon as you click on one of the links from the search result you are leaving secure area, and your request for that website can be monitored by third party.
Create different partitions on external drive, one for example EXT3 and other FAT32. EXT3 would be large and FAT32 would be very small couple of megabytes. On smaller partition you would have EXT3 drivers for Windows machines. With this you would be able to access EXT3 from any machine.
You could also try different file systems in same way.
