Smart Scopes: The Dash searches in various locations for results; the locations include your desktop, external drives, Amazon.com, and more. But with Smart Scopes, the results will come from 100 different locations. Here are just a few Smart Scopes locations:
Applications Calculator Chromium bookmarks Commands Dev Help Facebook Files and folders Google Drive Manpages Picasa Videos Amazon VirtualBox Yelp Compiz: A 'trunk' version of Compiz, called Compiz 0.9.10, will include a number of patches and performance tweaks that should make the desktop much faster and smoother.
Locally Integrated Menus: Locally Integrated Menus are sort of a hybrid between the HUD and standard menus -- a drop-down menu that resides on the Panel (for maximized windows) and in the window decoration (for un-maximized windows).
