Yes, but I don't know whether in the same context as the other checkboxes. The red one is used when deleting multiple items in a list, for example in Mail.

You are making my words sound worse than intended. It's not cynical: there cannot be an unbiased community so, by your reasoning, neither you or me should be part of any. I'm just saying that, by the nature of Google as a company and of thi

They did it just like Apple and Microsoft did it with their own audience: by making stuff they like and being friendly to them. People will always be biased, Google has always been a hacker friendly place so naturally hackers will like them

Not HN, NH's crowd: by flagging those links. Of course the HN code itself is not biased. (amended original post) Of course people will be biased both ways, but I never personally witnessed dead links on Apple, Facebook or Microsoft criticiz

Easy: HN users' Google apologism. I participated in a few Google critical discussion in the past few weeks and a surprising number of them were killed for no apparent reason. They were lively, non abusive discussion, they just happened to b

If Android were a true open source project instead of a sequence of huge code dumps it would be much much easier and less expensive for OEMs to track the changes and update their branches. Too bad it can't be, for a few non technical reason

Much easier: the V sign is considered rude and offensive even in many English-speaking places.

To all: no, I don’t think Google supports SOPA – what you explain here might be reasonable, there are other reasonable positions in other threads. I am noticing the fact that people here are taking the “watch and wait” approach, trying to e

I love how Google always gets a free pass. People say Jobs is a cult, but this isn't much different.

Man, you really want Facebook to be evil, do you? Google gives you the email addresses because you provided them with that data, it's yours to begin with. Facebook will give you the email addresses, but only for the users that allowed it

Most of the news articles talking about this are from early October 2010, about the same time the Google Data Liberation Front was created.

Facebook lets you download your data as well: https://www.facebook.com/help/?topic=download Just wanted to balance the “Facebook evil / Google not evil” diatribe, as when discussing these topics only Google is ever mentioned.

As I said: 99%. I like default tools to be optimized for the common case, corner cases are just corner cases – how often are you extracting a single file from a massive source tree?

The built one doesn't spurt anything: if the archive contains a directory or a single file it extracts that in place, if it contains a bunch of files it will create a directory with the archive name and put the files in there. This is what

And Mac OS has had voice commands for several years before that. I'm getting sick of this fight of always trying to find who “invented” something. Innovation is not just inventing new concepts, that just doesn't happen that much, it's also

Making a UI disappear is much harder than it seems. (and I don't mean to compare it to the data mining problem, because you just can't)

I think this blind faith in Google to be a bit weird. I still find unbelievable they can make that much money just with ads – I do believe they do, it just befuddles me – on a phone it's even harder to display them and in fact you don't see

Wait, Google was not happy enough breaking scrolling in iOS so they decided to break it on Lion too? I'm gonna try hard not to think they are doing it on purpose.
