Idea for Safari and MacOS X Services
Wouldn't it be cool to right click on a word in Safari and see a Define command that used www.dictionary.com? Or even a system-wide Service that did this throughout OS X?

That's cool stuff, I'm downloading it now. So if it's freeware...Apple should bundle it or buy it from them and integrate it with OS X.
Edit: This application has nothing to do with Safari contextual menus or OS X Services.
It was great, and it did just that. Bring Services into a more transparent contextual sense, and you have modern day apple data detectors.
Guh, I bought a PowerBook so I wouldn't have to carry real books.
Another thought I just had was how much the Safari download window sucks. Why can't we restart downloads from there or see the URL or do the other things we can in IE?
When the results are presented there will be a blue bar that says "Searched the web for example search term" at one side and "Results 1 - 10 of about 61,100,000. Search took 0.13 seconds" on the other.
If any of the words you searched for is found at dictionary.com it will be underlined and hyperlinked, click to go to the definition.

Services are great, but they need to be taken a tad further. Who remembers a little technology that came out of Apple in the disarray of the latter half of the nineties called ADD; Apple Data Detectors.

Indeed. But the name ADD would need to be changed...
