When burying a story, the story will remain visible with the 'Buried' label on top of it. Simply hover over the story and the label will hide so that you can continue interacting with the story. Note, you can still save or comment on stories that you've buried, but you can't Digg something once you've buried it so make sure you use some discretion when burying. We've also removed the "Report" link from permalink pages. This was intentional, as burying a story also flags the story for review so our team can remove content that violates our terms of service.

Google is blocking data access to its Gmail and Android contacts lists to any company that refuses to give open access back to Google. In essence, the search company is no longer giving away its data like a charitable person; it expects a gift in return.
