If you borrow someone else's Mac you should create a new Mac OS X user
account for yourself, which takes just a few seconds in the System
Preferences > Accounts panel, and keeps your private data (including any
login credentials) away from prying eyes. If you do that, there is no
need to log out of various web sites, applications, and what not in your
user account.
