I disagree. I might not spring for an EV cert in most cases, but using basic encryption to protect against casual eavesdropping should be the rule, not the exception.

I am 100% with that mentality, I guess I just see the overhead and understanding of HTTPS causing more problems in practice than solutions for developers who are not security-centric. Think we'll ever see google.com go to SSL?

I'm on this boat too. It irritates me that facebook is pretty wishy washy about which urls they decide to encrypt and which they don't...
