Video Transcript

"My name is Brandon Sarkis on behalf of Expert Village. Today I'll be showing you some of the new features in Mac OS 10.5 Leopard. Ok the next thing I'd like to show you is one of the really neat features that is built into Safari now. The first thing I'll do is open up Safari. It opens up to an Apple start page, and we're going to go down and we're going to highlight any word. I'll highlight "Chinese". I'm going to double click on Chinese. I'm going to right click, and I'm going to do look up in dictionary. You'll notice that the first thing that pops up is the dictionary definition of Chinese. There's also a thesaurus link, an Apple link, and most interestingly, the new feature which is a Wikipedia link. You can go through everything here from Chinese language to written Chinese, sanja, kanji so on and so forth. You can even just keep the dictionary open and use it as a software Wikipedia. So I could type in Apple computer. Hit go. There you go. Apple computer right there. So it's a really, really neat feature especially if you're doing some research and don't want to have to actually get online and look for something. Or if you're reading about something and were curious about the history behind a word or the story behind the name or whatever. You've got that right there at your fingertips with the Wikipedia."
