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?

Can you also get in touch with the marketing department to create a new landing page with email opt in which will put all email subscribers in to a 3 day launch sequence to demonstrate this awesome new feature along with video tutorials on how to use it. Please include the usual A/B testing and analytics features. Regards, dolan

Cool feature, but it block the "open link in new tab" menu option.

While I agree that designating what a user can accomplish on your page is making UX sacrifices, this is handy: Ctrl (Cmd) + Left click = open link in new tab

But how long before someone figures out a way to override ctrl+clicks and middle-clicks with a lightbox as well?

Am I really in a <1% minority of people who right click site logos to open the main page in a new tab and start a separate browsing path?

Am i the only person who uses middle click(the scroll wheel button) to open a link in a new tab? This worked for the github icon too; i just checked (Opera 11.61/Linux)

No, no you're not.

and a multivariate engine to test different font face/wording combinations for logo download conversion tracking.

What Github needs is a virtual octocat assistant that helps you with common tasks. "It looks like you're looking for Github brand image resources. - Have you tried right-clicking on the Github logo?"

Clippy! You're back! Where have you been all these years?!

why do I feel like I'm on Reddit all of a sudden

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.
