Google uses optional 2-step-verification for your account. Having entered your password on another computer than your own, you have to enter a code created by your mobile phone. So anyone who found out your password won't be able to access your files in Ubuntu One.
Solution: make a similar option available for Ubuntu One.

Use a Captcha (m4+3eUz.) When you first sign up and a personal PGP Key that is for your computer only and make sure that the PGP Key is on a small USB Flash drive. Also to recover from a re-install when you lost your key (flash drive) have 4 personal questions about yourself that you only know the answer to so you may recover that key. also any application that uses U1 will have a key that is generated for that applications use only; and that matches your PGP key but is not your key and have this key come from U1. and also have the ability to register an application with U1 like you register Banshee with Last.fm's webpage.

Adding to my solution #1, I'd like to propose using a pin code when you access the mobile Ubuntu One application (like in dropbox app). So anybody using your phone won't be able to see your files without the correct code.

i think a more compact properties would benefit Ubuntu and look more slick. i also ask how to fix/tweak this in askubuntu(http://askubuntu.com/questions/110208/resize-nautilus-properties-wind ows) but i still haven't gotten any answers or comments :(

The tab for "Notes" should be moved to the first tab "General". Notes are rarely used anyway and a smaller textarea should be ok for most people. Without the Tab "Notes" it would be possible to reduce the window minimum width slightly.

The height should not be reduced if this would force to add a vertical scrollbar in certain tabs, e.g. in tab "Permissions".

Possibly simple explanations could be toggleable with a key command (e.g. 's' as in "simple"). An explanation about this would be then added to the bottom of the GRUB screen. It would be among the other commands (enter, 'e' and 'c') and would say something as "'s' for simplified menu".
When the mode are turned on, the list would change to contain the simple explanatory information. The state of this option should be saved.
These "explanations" would be unnecessary to a more advanced user, possibly making it even more difficult to quickly find an entry, but will be helpful to the users who are not always interested in the other information.


An example of this would be:

With "explanations" off (normal GRUB):
* Ubuntu, with Linux 3.0.0-12-generic
* Ubuntu, with Linux 3.0.0-12-generic (recovery mode)
* Memory test (memtest86+)
* Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)

With "explanations" on:
* Latest version, normal (Ubuntu, with Linux 3.0.0-12-generic)
* Latest version, recovery (Ubuntu, with Linux 3.0.0-12-generic)

There should be an option (defaulting to true) to remove old kernels from the boot menu on the first successful boot into a new kernel. Dual-booting newbies don't have to wonder what the kernel names mean, but the information is still there.

Why should the entry be called "Windows 7 (loader)" instead of "Windows 7" or "Ubuntu, with Linux 3.0.0-15-generic" instead of just "Ubuntu 11.10"?
For newbies that would be much easier and would look more userfriendly.
Additionally, normal users don't need the "Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)" and "Memory test (memtest86+)" and one kernel version with recovery mode would be enough in my opinion.
But there should always be the option to display the "Advanced options".

Some kind of marking feature such as tagging files or folders with a star would be helpful in browsing my documents to easily locate items I may want to use again.

Ubuntu need new desktop search engine. Maybe old desktop search Kerry Beagle (abandoned now, cmiiw) source code can be rebuilded for this. Or Ubuntu can use tracker source code as base for this. Or Ubuntu make its own desktop search engine like Ubuntu made Unity.

Yes it will be easy for users to search anything. Just tap ALT and type anything... he will find them.

Link could open a nice gamelike routine, selecting ubuntu-style animal icons. Each animal represents a letter or number. For example: Password Ub1 is turtle, bird, horse.

Lots of devices have microphones. We could add options to monitor that and auto-adjust volume.

Auto-adjusting volume could be as simple as scaling up or down with the ambient noise, or it could go further by performing some minor equalization to increase the frequencies that were most prominent in the background noise. Similar features have existed in other systems for years such as "speed controlled volume" options in vehicular sound systems.
