The people have spoken and Google has answered. Last week, Google added a “delete” button to Gmail. Gmail has prided itself on the fact that, with over 2GB of space, you’ll never have to delete an e-mail, but instead archive them all to search through later. But, I really don’t want to keep an infinite library of NY Times headlines in my e-mail. Now I don’t have to.
In other Google-related news, the search giant refused a subpeona from the U.S. Gov’t for millions of search records for use in reviving “the Child Online Protection Act, a 1998 federal law that seeks to ban Internet sites from displaying content that the government deems ‘harmful to minors.’”
“The Supreme Court has ruled that the law can’t be enforced unless the government shows less intrusive measures such as Internet filtering are inadequate. The government hopes to use search results from Google and other companies to show that Internet pornography is so pervasive that only a federal law can protect children from it.”

Yahoo!, AOL, and Microsoft complied with the subpoena.
