If you would have read the article, you would have noticed that it wasn't about whether the government would or would not tax Internet commerce. It was about if it should or not...notice the difference.
If you compare your current keyboard to the keyboard of some old typewriters, you'll notice a lot a similarities. The Caps Lock is where it is because that's where it used to be on typewriters. The reason most keyboards are the way they are is because they are layed out just like the typewriters. It was left this way to make it easier for everyone that had learned to type on a typewriter first...why change what works?
