If that existed I'd be happy. Personally I’d be happy with something as simple as:
* GUI
* easily scheduled backups – don’t care if it uses cron jobs, just so long as it does it all for me and is GUI controlled
* imcremental changes, only backs up changes ( even if it’s the whole file and not it’s binary changes)
* BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY compressable – tars cool – but with the incramental filenames so the backup tar file doesn’t just balloon with each backup.

If that existed I’d be happy.

Diplicity is for backup to any place, might not even be a trusted place. Because it's encrypted, compressed, just transfers what is needed. Did you see the Duplicty front-end Deja-vu, yet ?

The AppCenter, Software Center... I believe is what Ubuntu needs to triage first. A comprehensive, tagged, rated, AppStore :) could really give Ubuntu a nice touch. For music players, Linux is kinda of screwed right now. The last decent one (again IMHO) was Amarok 1.4. Amarok 2 is a bloody mess, Rhythmbox is very basic, Banshee is ok. Not a big fan of windows media player either, we need FooBar for Linux, I guess. Nice article(s). Keep it up. Good stuff.
