I'm not sure why people find the 401k changes confusing, here is how it works:
The employee defers up to 18K (IRS limit), MSFT matches 50% of it, which is up to 9K.
Previously they contributed 50% of the first 6% the employee deferred = a maximum of 3% of the salary. So for anyone who makes less than 300K (9K / 0.03), this means a higher match from MSFT.

I don't get the big deal with free OS X updates. Apple sells hardware at a premium and you get the software with it. You can't buy Apple software, so why should you be able to buy software upgrades? It should have always been free, just like iOS upgrades are free.

Re:Recruiting Strategy: 100% Bonus Over 10 Years

This is a great idea (assuming that the budget exist), because it takes care of retention, not just recruiting.
I'd split the bonus between the two employees, and have it stop if either leave the company. This way both employees (who might have some influence on one another) have an incentive to keep each other happy at that company. This can boost the retention effect of this strategy.

I'd argue that HN has a built-in mechanism for determining what's interesting to its users. If a Bitcoin related story gets voted up to appear in the top page every day, then maybe it should be there.
