**OS X Built in Dictionary**
The Mac OS X operating system has a built in dictionary. Hands on Assignment:

Press and hold Apple+Control+D over any word in a mac application (Safari, iChat, Mail etc...) and up pops a handy dandy Dictionary/Thesaurus.

You can even move your mouse over any other word on the page and it will keep throwing out definitions. Then just let go of the keys, and POOF no more dictionary.
