Mac OS X has been on the forefront of an increasing number of malware infections with a number of trojans appearing in free software. OpenSpy being rampant and tracking and recording user activity.

With the gain in market share and the lack of protection from it's users both Linux and OS X are attracting the attention of hackers and malware makers. Long gone are the days of feeling safe using an OS besides Windows. It's recommended to be cautious about what you download and perhaps invest in an anti-virus solution.

When you visit Google you will notice on your URL bar it has a certificate (Depending on which browser you use)Identifying Google and that it is using 128bit encryption.

There may be a slight delay in regional rollout and might be some slight issues on certificate varification but this is all expected with a beta and should be relatively pain free soon.
