Tips
nLook down at your keyboard and locate the letters of F and J 
nBy any chance, do you notice anything a little different about those two keys? 
nDepending on the color of your keyboard, it may be a little hard to see, but those two letters happen to have a little "bump" on them 
nIt's just a little line that goes across the key that sticks up a little like a bump 
nThe two bumps are there to help you position your hands on the keyboard in the correct places without having to look down

Google Timelines and Map View - Google Experimental Search
See results on a timeline or map. With the timeline and map views, Google's technology extracts key dates and locations from select search results so you can view the information in a different dimension.
