Is Google Trying to Kill the CAPS LOCK KEY?
WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE INTERNET IF SUDDENLY THERE WERE NO MORE INANE SHOUTING OF NONSENSE?

Yesterday's Chrome OS Notebook Cr-48 reveal showed that Google had different plans for where the caps lock key normally resides. INSTEAD OF DOING THIS SORT OF THING, Google has mapped to a search key.
That's fine by us, considering the caps lock key these days is mostly useless aside from those who like to troll the comments section. (In fact, I've remapped my caps lock key to backspace.)
Amusingly, Google joked, "We expect this will improve the quality of comments across the web."
For those who feel that they must have that caps lock key back, Google notes that those with the Cr-48 notebook can click on the wrench icon, go into System section inside settings and change the Modifier Key from Search back to Caps Lock.
and i thought my jokes were bad.
It'll be just like the Windows key- useful when you press it purposefully, and annoying when you don't.

search key would be great on a laptop like this. i would prefer the search key over the caps key. would be more useful to me!
Let's hope that all laptop manufacturers start making trackpads like that.
Having more than 1 physical mouse button is pointless on a laptop.

NO HE MEANT INANE
INANE: asinine: devoid of intelligence
The "CAP LOCK KEY" is still there but they changed the default to do a "Search" instead. YES, YOU CAN CHANGE IT BACK IF YOU WANT! SO NOT REALLY GONE!
