Actually one of the greatest shortcuts in OS X is CTRL+CMD+D, for invoking a mini dictionary applet for the word under your mouse pointer.

And if you leave CTRL+CMD pressed and move your mouse pointer it will keep giving definitions for whatever word you pass over. It's brilliant!

Good grief that is amazing!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. I've been using Mac since I was 6 years old on a performa with System 6 and I didn't know that. lol.

If you open up the International pane in System Preferences, you can turn on the on-screen keyboard via the input menu. It actually shows what weird and wonderful special characters you can get when you're holding down the Alt key, as well as Alt + Shift. Fun stuff — I never knew how dead easy it was to type äçcéñtêd characters until I went poking around in there.

Thanks Void for the link, we really do appreciate it. If you don't mind a fellow web dev asking....if you run live stats how many uniques are hitting that page for curiosity sake?

I was trying to check, but my domain statistics seems to be broken. I need to fix that. Sorry If you want though, you can check the bit.ly statistics: http://bit.ly/info/cQZLri

Is there any rtsp:// url that one can try reloading in QT-player to see if the stream has started before they put it upp att Apple.com?

Yep. And you can also find many many more characters in the Character Viewer.

Er... it works wherever there is text. Should be fine in Chrome as well, but I never tried it.

CTRL + CMD + D, then click on a word for instant definition is da bomb. thanks.

I couldnt get it to work for me in FF, i thought because my keyboard was the mx5500 and always had trouble with it?

 

[sreckomi]

what is with the ads at the bottom... are they spoiler-free?

 

[blco02]

Well, a coworker ruined the name for me today when he said "hey, have you heard about the new Apple .... ".

Then I just went to the Drudge Report and inadvertently saw the price of it.

This video needs to hurry up and go live...

Pretty cool huh? It's so great. And we made it that it will keep giving definitions for whatever word you pass over. It's so cool. Really amazing stuff.

*sigh*.... can't wait for those lines applied on some other products in a certain keynote...

Knowing how Apple likes to do things, it's probably a feature reserved for Cocoa-based applications.

OK, maybe it's limited to Apple apps. I'm not sure.

Anyone know how to determine the direct link from the ref file that will be posted soon?

From podcast's XML source, links follow the structure:
http://movies.apple.com/datapub/us/podcasts/apple_keynotes/??????.m4v

?????? previously was sept2009_evt, wwdc2009, iphone-os-3-preview-event-20090317, macworld2009keynote…

So it's hard to guess that ?????, if you guess wrong, you get Apple's 404 page (you have to ignore links in the bottom), and iphone-os-3-preview-event-20090317 example shows that the link may include spoiler of some sort.
