Apple's New Aluminum Keyboard Features Built-In Anti-Caps Lock Bias

If you picked up a wired version of Apple's new thin aluminum keyboard you may have noticed that the caps lock function is all but useless.

Certain Aluminum Apple Keyboard Function Keys Not Working For You?

If you recently purchased one of those new slim aluminum Apple keyboards, you might have noticed that a couple of the fancy function keys on top (where the F-keys are) didn't work.
