How to make sure people sharing an open wireless network can't access your Facebook account.

Some of you may already know this, but just in case you don't.
People at a cafe or conference can access your Facebook account if you don't set up secure browsing. How do you set up secure browsing? Login to your Facebook account. Click on the down arrow next to Account. Click on Account Settings. Under Settings, click on Account Security. Click Change. Check the box  "Secure Browsing https. Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) whenever possible." Check the box "When a new computer or mobile device logs into this account, send me an email." Click Save.
