In Mac OS X Tiger, Apple reintroduced Dictionary as a system wide service. Right click on a word, and the 'Look up in Dictionary' contextual menu will open the Dictionary application and present the word's listing. Control+Apple+D can also be used to look up an entry for a selected word. NeXTSTEP included a. LibriVox is a hope, an experiment, and a question: can the net harness a bunch of volunteers to help bring books in the public domain to life through podcasting?

• This sounds pretty nice. Just wish they would install an English-Japanese dictionary that would help foreigners learning Japanese.
• As a complete spanner when it come to spelling Tiger and Dictionary 1.0 has been a great use to me.
  I just hope it offers more realistic British English rather than the kind of British English Americans think we use.
  i.e. utilize is spelt with an ...ize in UK English; but Tiger tries to correct to ...ise
• Hey check out that Next dock. Looks better than the Leopard one.

  But what about words like 'spanner' which we don't use in the US, either to mean 'novice' or 'wrench' (the tool)? :-)
• Profanity blocking was already in Tiger; is it not?
  I think the new thing for Leopard is profanity blocking in MCX. So schools with client management can finally take advantage of it.
• This looks great. I frequently find that it all these 'little' side apps and functions that never seem to get mentioned actually end up being more use than headline grabbing ones.
  For example, Expose sure looks nice and does work well, but after years of application switching on Mac + PC, APPLE+TAB comes more natural.
  The word auto-complete function ALT+ESC is great, and being able to send a whole webpage from Safari APPLE+I to Mail is brilliant.
  Screenshots saved as a file rather than clipboard file (our poor windows cousins - have you ever seen the size of a windows screenshot BMP!!) seems so simple and means you can document work very quickly.
  The list goes on and on. I would truly like to see more about these small but sometimes essential features that get left behind with all the eye candy (no matter how promising it looks)
• My my. Wikipedia in Dictionary.app eh?
  Between this and the new Movie Times widget in Leopard, it's no wonder that they ditched Sherlock.
• Awesome.
  Loving this in-depth app-by-app series from AI. Keep it up!

  I wouldn't agree with that. I find Expose far more intuitive, although I will agree that command+tab is faster. Besides command+tab is purely for application management, whereas Expose is (mainly) for window management. Unless you're on a PC in which case the window *is* the application...
  P.S. As of the most recent iMac keyboards there is no more Apple key

  That'll be because '-ise' is correct.
  Pedantically, '-ize' is also a correct option, but is rarely used in UK English.
  As an example, the Guardian style guide tells us to use '-ise'. That variant is so much the standard that many people consider '-ize' to be wrong, even if it's technically allowable.

  Yeah, I don't get it. Does he have it backwards? Utilize is -ize in US English (as that's my setting and the native spell-checker didn't warn me), but likely -ise in UK English, as is the case with most -ize/-ise spelling differences between the two dialects. I can't see why OSX would go out of its way to try to incorrectly correct the -ize spelling to -ise when -ise isn't in fact the correct spelling in UK English.
• Parental controls - a nice idea I guess, but what do people think will happen to their children if they find 'bad' words in the dictionary? They'll giggle for a few minutes and it'll be over. They're not going to then go out and rob liquor stores.
  I guess it's the same silliness as Janet Jackson's breast in the SuperBowl half-time show. People think it's a terrible thing, but can't really explain why.

  Exposé is not meant to be just an application switcher per se. It's more of a visual window search tool. But the best part of Expose is the Desktop key in my opinion.
  For example, I'm in Mail and want to email an attachment on my desktop - I can hit exposé (desktop) to clear the windows, start dragging the file, hit the exposé key again and drop it on the window. This works great for dragging and dropping anywhere.
  The exposé application only key is handy too for 'bring all app windows to front' functionality.

  Yes. There's nothing like having 25 images open in Photoshop, activating Exposé's 'bring all app windows to front', and then picking the one you want to bring to the front of the pile. Can't do that with Command+Tab. And the real secret weapon to Exposé: drag and drop capability. Truly awesome.
  For all the fanfare surrounding Exposé, I have to say it's the one of the few highly-touted features of OS X that actually changed my entire workflow. I simply couldn't live without it at this point. Can't say the same for Automator or Dashboard, which I use, but I don't NEED.
  I hope Spaces will be another Exposé in that regard. But I'll have to try it out to see.
  And I second the notion that these 'app by app' detail articles are really cool. Keep them coming.
• Thank b*ggery that it's got a proper English dictionary, and not the supposed English that Americans call English.
• You already can click every word in Tiger's Dictionary.

• Nice
  I use Dictionary and Wikipedia all the time when I'm on my Mac. I user answers.com when I'm on a PC. I'd pay money if I could download snippets of words pronounced as well linked to dictionary terms.

  Thankfully not everyone sees UK English as having evolve in the right direction. Some see US English as more technically robust while much richer due to the melting pot annealing of the vocabulary.
  Look at the UK use of the word ARE to see how far they have fallen off the cliff.
