Make sure you disable the shopping lens before searching in public. Amazon searches can be NSFW!

Don't search for analyze in a school or Saudi Arabia.

I think that this is unacceptable default behaviour but currently seems to be a WON'T FIX.

I'm a little confused. I don't see a change log. I also don't see an easy way to upgrade from 12.04 which is what I currently run. Do I need to do a full reinstall? Am I missing something? (probably)

It also works almost flawlessly out of the box on the Retina MacBook Pro. The only thing that requires adding is the Broadcom b43 modules and possibly the proprietary nVidia drivers. Very impressive.

It does? Isn't everything tiny? What resolution is it using?

That's not a change log but new features are listed here http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/whats-new

I never had any problems with it but some people prefer a clean install.

"Avoid the pain of Windows 8" If you think Windows 8 is going to be a pain, I don't recommend moving to Ubuntu. BTW, I really like Ubuntu. I don't like that sales pitch though.

Very much so. The pain with Windows 8 is going to be the UI change- switching to Ubuntu will require a very similar adjustment to a new UI (one that, ironically, Canonical forced on a userbase that was unsure about it).

There is a separate bug for the same issue that has been marked as fixed:

It wasn't showing up in update manager for me on 12.04 LTS.

Fire up Terminal and run 'update-manager -d' and it should show up.
