Elementary OS Fixes (shell script)

I'm really enjoying ElementaryOS Luna.  It's lightweight, fast, and easy on the eyes.  In fact, I'm running it on an old notebook right now but the plan is to throw it on an Acer C720 chromebook and run it instead of Chrome OS.  But it's not 100% turnkey (I'd say 90%, which is awesome).  The only thing I really felt had to be changed pronto was the uninstalling of some default software (and the installing of better replacement applications).   For example, the default browser is Midori.  Sure, it's ok.. but I'm entrenched into Google Chrome.  Same thing with Totem, Geary, and Empathy....there are just better applications out there.

So here's a bash script that uninstalls all the junk and replaces it with awesome programs!  You can run it as a script or just run each line.  Note that this is a modification of memoryleakx's original script here.
