Ubuntu One:
If you work on multiple computers, then Ubuntu One can aid your productivity a lot. Ubuntu One is file syncronisation service already built into Ubuntu (think DropBox). Go to System > Preference > Ubuntu One. Create an account from there or Sign-in with an existing one. You can configure which folders to sync, you can also purchase/download music and software from your Ubuntu One account. One note, if you are accessing the internet via a proxy server, this might not work for you, even if you configured the proxy in the global settings.

Ubuntu Tweak:
This is a remarkable utility that lets you customise with ease. Download a DEB package from http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ and double-click on it to install. Once installed, you can find it in Applications > System Tools.
Go to Package Cleaner to clear/config/kernels to make machine leaner and faster along with freeing up some disk space. You can go to 'Login Settings' to change the background image or the login logo. You can choose the Icons (such as Trash or Home Folder) you want to display on Desktop via 'Desktop Icon Settings'.
