* I was investigating this website when, out of habit, I selected some portion of the body text with my mouse while reading the article. To my surprise, the passage turned bright yellow and asked me if I wanted to "Search" with Poonkt, "Amazon", or "EBay", among other features in a small popup menu. And I hadn't downloaded anything or asked for any information!
* I tried this on the Firefox web broswer and it doesn't do this. It only happens on this Forbes site, and just for Internet Explorer (I use version 6.0.29).
Check this site, does it do the same to you?! Scary stuff...

I use a mac so i normally get left out of useful 'features' like the one you mentioned :P
Yeah, well you'd do well to pay your dues to father Gates and buy more "M$", as they say!! Not me anyway, I'm shifting as much as I can into Linux... still using Windows for the development environment, but there's not really much reason to do so anymore. Other than I've used it for the best part of 10 years, but these are just bad habits. I say kick it ;)
