Cute quiz to measure how addicted you are to the internet? http://www.google.com/chromeos/pilot-program-quiz.html
Interesting how the questions are framed, which sites are mentioned in the drill down sections, and in what order. (They mentioned weather underground, which I thought was interesting, since that's a very old school web 1.0 kind of site) Also interesting how it graded me below average, even when I massively exaggerated how much I use web apps. It's almost as if Google has a vested interest in promoting the use of web…

#53I 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.
But how will we ever code in FORTRAN on the thing?

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.
I use the ctrl key a lot on ssh sessions. If the web is now reduced to youtube and valleywag, I'd gladly abandon it.

#59As per usual, all the world's American. This Brit says boo and hiss.
Since Google's requesting fairly intensive feedback, I can assume it's easier for their team to track usage in a domestic market.

You can map it to Ctrl.
In Chrome OS? Is there a web app for that?
