Call up a dictionary definition for any word on-screen with just one click.
Sounds like the built-in Dictionary is even better than services. I have to see this in actions. I'm assuming that it works with webpages and any other text document.
That's only a couple of words, and there aren't that many more that are commonly used. Seriously, how hard could it be to just add those words.
yeah but we shouldn't have to. There should be respect for different localisations and it's a drag having to do it in every area. Also there are more than a few words.
Why will Apple not include an RSS reader widget? that would be the killer tie-in to Safari rss, have your stocks and headlines from WSJ, NYT, yada yada...well, looks like a good time to learn Apple widget development w00t
Oh and a mail widget...shows you the from address and subject of any new messages and when one is clicked calls up mail.app (this could be modified to work with T-bird or entourage)
well...I better stop giving away mi widget ideas...till I develope them this summer
I "heard" that a right-click on a selected word shows the following context menu:
Search in Spotlight
Search in Google
Look up in Dictionary
Copy
In Panther, if a selection is a fully-qualified URL including the "http :", then it will say "Go To Address". Sadly, they still require the "http :" for that to show up, so you are stuck with the ridiculous goose chase of selecting "Search in Google" and then clicking the exact same text in Google to go to the URL.

It's called English for a reason...
