Fantastic point!!!
I'm putting that on my resume:
Resume: "I don't use intellisense in any IDE because it is such a cheat. I've memorized the syntax and all methods for all libraries in the entire Windows API and all other known libraries (think JS here)"

You shouldn't be able to compile either. Just checkin, and then get a green light or red light from the CI/Tests that run after checkin. Seeing the compile error or failed test info is cheating. /sarcasm.

Some recruiter out there is prolly taking notes now, and thinking that this might just be a novel idea

What do you expect? If recruiters knew what we knew, then they wouldn't be recruiters, they would do the job themselves.

I used to work for a company whose initials were "GIS". As a result I constantly got GIS opportunities offered to me. Although one day I might like to get into GIS (I am an amateur cartographer) I have no actual experience with those systems. That apparently didn't matter since I clearly had "GIS" on my CV so I must be good at it! 
I updated my CV to spell out the name in full but even now, twelve years later, I still get the odd GIS job coming up.

I know two really good recruiters who actually enjoy helping people (I knew three, but one quit).
They connected on LinkedIn, regularly give me a call to ask me how I'm doing and what I'm doing (a bit of market research I guess).
We always have a nice chat, they clearly read my LinkedIn page in some detail, and they never offer me a job if I'm not asking for it.
So recently I started my own company and I told them I'd consider employment if the company was really good.
One of those guys actually said that when he heard me talk it would be good to try my own company for a while.
He still sent me an opportunity for the first time since I know him, which is years, because he actually thought the company was really nice for me.
So I went over there to talk and it was a really nice company, but I still decided not to work there.
The other one said he couldn't help me if I didn't want to go back to being employed, but a friend of his could help me with freelance jobs, so he introduced me.
One of them has an event planned for next week which I'll be visiting.
I've talked to the other one about talking at one of his events myself.
If I ever need employees I'd go to them.
The keyword here, which most recruiters seem to lack, is simply personal interest and effort.
In fact, if anyone in the Netherlands is looking for a new job I'd recommend one of these two guys (send me an email if you're interested, I can't openly advertise them on CP  ).

Nein!

To me it's pretty simple: If they're going to block Google from you for everyday work, then you probably don't want to work for them anyway.
[Edit]
...and if they're not blocking Google for work, why would it be fair to block it during some random interview exercise?

Yeah, true. Except when the "standard wheel" is wobbly and poorly constructed or is broken and/or inefficient.

To paraphrase a previous comment of mine, Google remembers so we don't have to.

What's the use of a recruiter.
It should stop right there.

Rubbish! This is just a fault on Skype with words and picture out of sync, but the intervier thought the candidate was cheating. Many of the comments agree it's just lag.
|
|
|
|
|
To me, the candidates behavior when accused says "cheat": he reacted embarrassed, not surprised and confused.

Yep, and no attempt to defend himself or be confused as one would naturally act if they were incorrectly accused of cheating.
I think the biggest give away is that the interviewer says he can hear 2 different voices. Skype may have it's issue, but I doubt it merge 2 different audios in to 1, and somehow miraculously matches the call with someone who just happened to be answer the exact same questions and the exact same time 
Having said that, it's the internet, the whole thing is probably a set up just to farm views, likes, comments, etc. Expect to see more similar videos start emerging soon.

No, there are 59 comments, and only one of them states that (s)he thought it was just a laggy video.

I seen 2 comments, plus a 3rd that may or may not have jokingly mentioned lag.
Please do accurate research before applying to post in the lounge!

I checked three times before posting on the lounge. How many comments can you see actually? And which ones are you talking about?

At the time I could also see 59 comments (I can see 60 now).
1. The5GIO5: "I thought this video was just laggy xD"
2. Neil M: "I thought it was just lag"
3. Mud-lust: "No, I know words. I have the best words. it was the video and audio out of sync, give me the job" (the joke/not joke one)
1 & 2 are right next to each other on my view.
Anyway, that's way too much time spent looking at comments on youtube!

No one forced you to answer in the first place. This is just lame behaviour, imho.

You asked me a question, I answered you. I would call that being polite, rather than being lame.
If you are referring to me pointing out your mistake, well that was just me continuing the conversation that you started regarding specific comments. I would suggest you avoid posting messages if you don't like people responding to them.
And I am not sure why you are taking this all so seriously, I was only having fun by suggesting that it matters if there is 1 or 2 or 3 comments.
