gizmodo.com — Hey you guys might know this already, but Brian had no clue, so I'm passing it along. Press and hold Apple+Control+D over any word in a cocoa application (Safari, iChat, Mail etc...) and up pops a handy dandy Dictionary/Thesaurus.

How the f**k did this get 1,000 diggs?

Firefox doesn't use cocoa, so it doesn't take advantage of the "system-wide" tools (Spell Check, Dictionary ect.) There is a cocoa beta variant of firefox somewhere on Mozilla.org or w/e it is. You might want to check that out. I have but I didn't see a need to switch from Safari.

Oh, the problem is I'm an idiot and didn't read the article. It doesn't work in Firefox, only Safari (and other built in Mac programs). Duh.

Dude, there is no reason to be such a tool. If you don't like Macs then don't read story about OS X. Macs where not designed for close minded individuals that don't embrace( or even like) change. Continue with your head in the sand, and keep drinking that MS kool-aid. Have fun with Vista.Just because you don't like a story doesn't mean that story is not worthy of a digg.And by the way. You might want to do a little research on the Mouse and a GUI interface. Check some patents (always a good place to start). You might be a little surprised.

Also, make sure that the Dictionary application is in your Applications folder, not in a subfolder of the Applications folder or anywhere else.

That is possible to change the Dictionnary /Thesaurus referances as per an other language? French...
