they really should save this kind of preference to their database so that it follows the user across other sessions and machines too. and then add a setting in their account preferences to opt back in to the right hand click lightbox.

Maybe it's also useful to sync this settings to the Mac App and possibly other apps... an email every time it gets changed would also be useful, in case someone with your login decides to change it. And finally, in teams one should be able to control which member can change this setting for himself, and which not, and the team lead can also set a default what should happen on the right click.. Yeah, that's it.

  We're also going to need a way for someone to report on the right click actions. Log the action, build an alert system to distribute and then auto generate an email letting someone know the alert is sent. The reporting should have control levels so the team lead can designate whether someone can see this report, share this report or print this report.

    and give me an API to query if a user likes the right click override setting off and on. "Gravatar for right click settings."

        better build in social sharing too, "I just right-clicked and won!"

        Can someone get on crunching numbers so I can get a pie chart on how many users disabled the right-click, how many people never right-clicked (hey, maybe a tutorial-like tooltip bubble that says "Right-click me!" ?), trends in right-click usage over time and separated by geo localisation? That should be trivial to do, I'm sure.

        Sounds like a plan. Can we get some consensus on what tool to use for capturing these items and generating the burn down chart?

        No, really, please don't turn every comment page into a pun thread that would be an end to HN as we know it. Please try to keep it serious and technical, and down-vote if you can this kind of conversation.

Personally, I'd use a combination of Dropbox, iCloud as well as an arbitrary SFTP server. They could use the SSH key you register with them to allow seamless log in, and also encryption of the setting on Dropbox and iCloud.
