Happen to be on nytimes.com and then seeing a word you have never before seen? Use your mouse to select it and a small question mark image will appear. Click it and you get a pop-up with the word explained. The service is provided by Answers.com. I’m not sure if it’s new I just played around while reading. Definitely a useful feature.
