Constant Dictionary Definitions
If you hold down Command-Control-D in a Cocoa-based application that supports AppleSpell, you'll see little dictionary pop-ups for each word that you mouse over. Neat, eh?

| Submit Ideas for the 2008 TidBITS Gift Guide
It may be Thanksgiving this week in the United States, but that means more than just feasting on turkey and stuffing with friends and family. It means the official start to the annual holiday shopping season and international effort to boost the struggling global economy. Those who wish to go beyond the obvious ideas - an investment bank, an auto maker, a small bankrupt country - will be able to read the 2008 TidBITS Gift Guide for suggestions from others in the TidBITS community.
Here's how it works. Readers contribute ideas in TidBITS Talk through 29-Nov-08, then everyone gets to vote for their favorites in an online survey through 07-Dec-08, and we'll publish the top-ranked suggestions on 08-Dec-08.
We've started threads for some broad categories in TidBITS Talk where you can share your ideas for great presents. If you subscribe to TidBITS Talk via email, just reply to a message in the right thread. If you read TidBITS Talk via the Web, you can post via the Web too; scroll down to the bottom of the window in the appropriate thread.
