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

with the various features of the unity desktop,

from social networks in the messaging menu,

.......................... on the launcher

to control music websites directly from the sound menu.

(#9 - Unity Previews - Slick ANimated App & File Previews)
Applications, files and more can now be created directly in the Dash with a right click.

Depending on the type of app and file you're previewing,

you'll see different options or preview styles.

For example, previewing music gives you a nifty in-Dash previewing music player.

without using the Ubuntu software center.
