We all love a bit of branding right? ("Cows say no" - the world) Canonical have a tonne of ready-made merchandise readily purchasable from their on-line store. Whilst the cost of postage in the store doesn't come cheap, you are allowed to treat yourself sometime... Below are my favourite five items readily available form the store.
My favourite 'app' of the moment is Unity Mail - a small Unity Launcher-based app that tells you how many unread messages you have in your GMail inbox.

Recently a number of you in the OMG! Ubuntu community have been wondering about my "Ubuntu is Easy" videos, and why I have chosen to create a series of what seem like extremely simple tutorials. A few of you have wondered if they're even necessary. A few more think that I shouldn't use Windows at all if I'm a true open source proponent. Here's my short answer to that and more Linux politics.
Does Unity Launcher integration for Totem sound helpful? If so then you're in luck...
Note taking applications for Android are not hard to find. A search of the Android market returns "at least 1000 results". So when reader Rich sent a link to an Ubuntu One-syncing notes app called 'Chalk' I hoped it was a little different. Turns out it is.
If slaying hordes of the walking dead whilst saving civilians from a life of flesh-eating hell sounds like a great way to spend an evening, check out unique RTS game 'Atom Zombie Smasher', which has just gone on sale in the Ubuntu Software Centre priced at a not-too-shabby $9.99.
