Amazing article acangiano! Specially loved the graph...It just shows that the people who believe that success lies in their own hands end up being wealthier and more successful!

I am an Indian. Yes the last column in the bar and I can totally understand what u mean about countries sucking at start up games. There is a negative mindset people have towards building new businesses. The safety and the boredom of a government job is much more appealing to them. Makes me sad...

you can use google by typing the following in the search box of Google:

Search string site:news.ycombinator.com

but that also gives the results if the search string matches the title, not content!

I agree. However use of desktop recording softwares is similar to using an audio recorder to record a song on the radio. We cant do anything about it <nothing as far as I know. >

The main aim was to remove the download capability of the ubiquitous downloading tools/plugins (like FlashGot, DownloadThemAll, VLC etc) which mainly use the video saved in the cache. So far we have been successful in that.

Ideas to avoid recording via a screencam, anyone??

I guess that kind of makes the point. If you can't stop it being recorded, what does the encryption serve? If it is content that is worth anything, it will be screen capped and pirated within a few hours.

Are you just hoping to serve adds every time a casual user wants to watch a video because their simple download tools dont' work?

But why is temptation regarded so bad? I mean not all temptations are distractions or something bad.

This is amazing! I was lamenting the loss of my smartphone recently <ah..the eternal need to stay connected!> Been using an old nokia phone. Made a simple gmail to sms channel using ifttt. Loving it.
