Over a year and a half ago, I wrote about a small and relatively unknown feature on NYTimes.com. The feature allows you, while reading an article, to highlight/select any word and double click. A smaller new window would open with the results of a query automatically run for you. They’ve just recently updated this to show a small question mark icon instead of automatically popping up a window. It’s even less obtrusive than before! While I read, I — admittedly annoyingly — click and drag, click and drag, and click and drag. With this tick, I found myself firing up popup definitions all the time.
This is much better. See the screenshot below.
