LOL.
If you payed attention to my choice of words, you would see that it's not ranting, and not complaining but an attempt to find a hacker that might by running a keylogger on your N900.

As for you comment,

1/ SSL is always used by Google when authenticating, in other words, your password is never sent out in clear.
Unless someone does man in the middle to you, in such case, your password is not only sent as clear text, but also arrives into your hackers hand with zero effort on his side.

2/ The same is true for the N900's connection to Google. I remember, at the early days of GMail, it being such a pain in the *** because they required TLS and the lot.
Same response. If someone doesn't pay attention to the existence of SSL per session, he can find himself running through a man in the middle attack. TLS is not so different then SSLv3

3/ You probably used the same password somewhere else.
I most definitely don't.

4/ Don't blame the N900.
I was not blaming the N900, not it's hardware, and not the OS.
I was raising a perfectly valid question, "Is someone taking advantage of the extras-devel repo, to run a tap on your keystrokes? If you look at my signature you will see that not only that I take advantage of the N900's HW and OS, I am also contributing back to the community, so what exactly have I done or said to deserve such a violent response from you?

As for 5,6,7 they don't deserve a proper comment.
