04 Encrypt your Mac with FileVault 2, and why you absolutely should
FileVault 2 can make nations quake, apparently, but it's just a
bit of good information hygiene, letting you make choices about
the degree of vulnerability you want to tolerate. With it off,
you're not risking everything, but with it on, you have a
high degree of assurance about who can access what.
