I just downloaded 1-click answers from Answers.com and it's really neat.
You can get OS downloads, or what I got, was a Firefox plug-in that basically, if you Alt+Click on a word,
it calls from Answers.com (which I think feeds from Google and Wikipedia and a bunch of others it appears) and gives you dictionary and encyclopedia references. It even doubles as a spell checker, letting me know it isn't spelled encylopaeda.
Anyways, neat feature.

you don't think it's neat.
i know it has nothing to do with php,
but i thought that it was a neat utility.
it's perfect for me at least.

I get the same functionality by double clicking, ctrl+c, ctrl+t, ctrl+k, ctrl+v, enter.

Convenience is the mother of innovations. Perceived necessity the father...

I guess it's a trade-off. Either you keep your private life private, or you get "convenience" by using services offered by companies that sell your information to spammers and other companies.
