How not to show News Dashlet

CiviCRM News Dashlet is helpful but it is also distracting.

1) How to remove the CiviCRM News Dashlet so that it is not available. It should not be available in "Configure your dashboard"
2) For my developers and managers, I may want them to have access to CiviCRM News dashlet as available in "configure your dashboard"  but it should not be shown in dashboard when the user account is created. How to configure this?.
Point '1' above is more important for me.

Go to phpmyadmin and inspect the table 'civicrm_dashboard' - you'll find an entry labelled "CiviCRM News". To restrict access to only admins, change its permission from 'access CiviCRM' to 'administer CiviCRM'
Try asking your question on the new CiviCRM help site.

What if you do not want to show it at all, even administrators?
