Another interesting stuff on ubuntu is the the clock, by default has Time, Date and Calendar. But as i was messing around with it i figure out something cool.

The clock has another neat feature which is it can tell you the weather, to do this:
–> Right click on the clock
–> Preferences
–> Location bar
–> Add (Choose the place where you are)
–> Done, The weather and temperature will be displayed before the date/time.

Another neat feature is you can track multiple timezone/location as you like, to do this:
Follow the steps on finding out the weather except the part where you choose where you are, now you can choose wherever you like. (I had tried 5 and its still working fine but i guess you could have more)
After adding the location you wish to track,
–> left click on the clock
–> Location

and you have the following (other features):
* Map of the world (cool stuff),
* dots in different color representing your chosen locations, click any of the analog clock or the name and the dots representing that location will flash (amazing)
* another neat stuff is it shows the time (both analog and digital) of the location you selected (useful if you’ll travel to other place), I know Vista has this.
* Besides the time of each location, it also have a weather indicator
* And the current day of that location
* And the name of the UTC timezone, i had to do a wiki search on this, ahha
* You can set your new location (neat if you travel a lot)

And the other configurations like
* Temperature unit: Celsius / Fahrenheit
* Wind Speed Unit: Don’t know the use
* 12/24 hour format
* Show Seconds/Date/Weather/Time

I have some suggestion/feature i wish was there like:
* Weather forecast for the next n days.
* Current date and year of a place (different on some part of the world)
* Calendar turns red on a holiday based on your location
* [edit] I do want an alarm clock too [/edit]

Not sure about the email thing if you double click on the date, but anyway i do hope you’ll like it too
