  Looks awesome--am downloading it now.
  
  I must note, however, how annoying the Lessigite the first half of the video was. (Sorry, Tim.) When did that approach to powerpoint take over the web?

  I think of it as the Bill O'Reilly-ization of the Net. Put everything up in nice little soundbites on a whiteboard and dumb it down for the masses.

  By the way, the command prompts list of site that you will be accessing once you call up the command prompt is here:
  
  chrome://ubiquity/content/cmdlist.html
  
  (Note: You need to be using Firefox to see the list).

  This is kind of cool, but the functionality is still pretty limited. The email and calendar commands only work with the Gmail web interface, which doesn't do me much good since I access Gmail in Outlook through the SSL-encrypted IMAP server. Since Ubiquity is a Firefox extension, I doubt any future versions will sync up with Outlook or Exchange server, which is unfortunate.
  
  Also, for some reason, the font for my Ubiquity is an ugly Times New Roman rather than the nice anti-aliased sans serif font that all the previews show. I must have some conflicting extension. And the pervasive Google AdWords are painful--AdBlock plus with Filterset.G isn't doing its job.

  @ryan I had the same complaint about TNR. I googled for a solution and found your comment, hehe. So, I just hacked mine.
  
  To change the font for Ubiquity on a PC, find the path to your extension installation files; it should be something like: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profilename>\extensions\ubiquity@labs.mozilla.com\chrome\content
  
  Open up preview.css, add font-family:calibri; [or any other font you want] to the body tag. And that's it!
