But what are some of the best to be looking out for?

00:00:13.096 --> 00:00:16.617
We're here with a quick Top 10 rundown.

00:00:16.617 --> 00:00:19.490
(#10 - Web Apps - Blurring Web and Desktop)
Who said that the Web and the desktop have to be separate?

00:00:19.490 --> 00:00:23.096
Ubuntu’s new Web App feature integrates over 30 popular websites

00:00:23.096 --> 00:00:26.635
with the various features of the unity desktop,

00:00:26.635 --> 00:00:28.636
from social networks in the messaging menu,

00:00:28.636 --> 00:00:30.743
mailing user alerts on the launcher

00:00:30.743 --> 00:00:35.360
to control music websites directly from the sound menu.

00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:40.410
(#9 - Unity Previews - Slick Animated App & File Previews)
Applications, files and more can now be previewed directly in the Dash with a right click.

00:00:40.410 --> 00:00:43.064
Depending on the type of app or file you're previewing,

00:00:43.064 --> 00:00:46.663
you'll see different options or preview styles.

00:00:46.663 --> 00:00:53.858
For example, previewing music gives you a nifty in-Dash music player.

00:00:53.858 --> 00:00:59.552
(#8 Preview App Installs: Bypass the Ubuntu Software Center)
As a gift to the lazy amongst us, previews also allow you to install free applications

00:00:59.552 --> 00:01:03.556
without using the Ubuntu software center.

00:01:03.556 --> 00:01:07.205
(#7 Online Accounts - Centralises Your Social Connections)
Ubunto 12.10 Online Accounts feature

00:01:07.205 --> 00:01:10.465

We all appreciate security

is the ability to login to remote desktops directly from the login screen.

00:01:48.163 --> 00:01:53.519
This works, by adding the remote desktop data to your Ubuntu one Single Sign On account,

00:01:53.519 --> 00:02:00.849
which you then login with, using the login screen, to gain access to your remote desktop connections.

00:02:07.629 --> 00:02:11.266
(#3 Ubuntu One Updates - New Sync Menu)
Ubuntu One users will appreciate the new dedicated sync menu,

00:02:11.266 --> 00:02:17.998
