Found a very cool piece of software recently called GuruNet. Once you’ve downloaded it, you can alt-click on any word, in any file, Web page or document and it will pull up a dictionary entry on that word. It also searches the Net and provides you with an array of other information on the word, ranging from thesaurus entries to translations to other languages and general search info. I generally use dictionary.com for this, but it’s distracting to have to jump to another window in another browser, look up the word and then come back. GuruNet brings the info to you, plus an array of other info. Very useful. I’ve been demoing it for about a week now and just broke down and paid the $34.95 to get a legit copy. Worth every penny. You can download a demo version of it to try out. Go ahead. Give it a shot. I dare you.
