I absolutely love the fact that a laptop fully based around the web is being denied a caps lock key. Good riddance. I think 99% of its usage (constants aside) is for trolling/yelling.

I like to use it as my Control key, though. I'd be concerned that they would replace it with something else and I'd have to learn to twist my pinky unnaturally again.
Then again, I guess it's not that big a deal since the ctrl key doesn't really get used on the web.

I'm a heavy Google services user for work & personal (as i'm sure most people here are), and I start commuting 2hrs each way to work in a month, so something like this would've been perfect for the commute. I'd happily spend that time testing the laptop and taking part in feedback. Ah well.
Any Googlers here (Matt_Cutts?) in a position to comment on how long we'll be waiting to hear about this? Because being accepted as a tester would absolutely make my December.
Anyone know the reasoning behind the Cr-48 name? Maybe because that isotope of chromium is one of the longer lived non-stable isotopes of chromium?

This is exactly what I was about to say. It looks like they've used the caps lock position for the Fn key on the cr-48, so it looks like this may not be possible on this unit. Then again, I guess it's not that big a deal since the ctrl key doesn't really get used on the web.
Cute quiz to measure how addicted you are to the internet? http://www.google.com/chromeos/pilot-program-quiz.html
Personally, there are only a couple of things that I don't do regularly on the internet: listen to music and text editing. (The only applications I add to Windows 7 on my netbook is Notepad2, Foobar2000, and Chrome.)

What the speaker said went along the lines of "after awhile the engineers settled on 48." It seemed like there wasn't a clear reason behind it, although my lack of chem knowledge could be why.
