No. What logs could that be? Of some program trying to log in at gmail.com?

What I don't understand either is, why doesn't Google mistake that "unknown 
device" for my computer? It's the same IP, after all... It shouldn't be 
cookies being used, since I save them only for a session anyway, and normally, 
I don't login at Google at all.
