it did not have the same effect, unfortunately. ;)  perhaps they are
just trying to appease the masses with some hand-waving?

after logging in, the session would briefly jump to an insecure
connection for some reason or another, which could even be witnessed by
watching the URL in the address bar, and then jump back to a secure
connection.

the hope is now that this doesn't happen.

although i personally stopped using gmail long ago not because of this
but because of their privacy policies and retention of deleted e-mails,
even after a google account has been closed.
