I'm not sure how I missed it all these years. Weird thing is I click-and-drag over text all the time, either to copy/paste or save my place. That is, I never noticed a pop-up until this recent instance of double-clicking. Though I will say I think I do recall pop-ups starting to materialize in the past, but I am so incensed at the thought of ads, that I've gotten lightening fast with the CMD-W -- I never realized those were dictionary entries.<BR/><BR/>But I agree with Jordan: NYTimes should give you the option to disable the look-up. It should be like those stupid links where, if you hover over them, they show a mini image of the linked page. While infuriating (and a resources-suck), at least <A HREF="http://www.snap.com/about/spa_faq.php" REL="nofollow">Snap</A> gives you the option to disable the plugin.mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11544580092499852418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563019253410165575.post-74836097673020108022007-03-13T23:16:00.000-04:002007-03-13T23:16:00.000-04:00The way I justify Civ to myself: At least I'm not ...The way I justify Civ to myself: At least I'm not wasting zee Germans in Call of Duty.

I like to read text on my computer by clicking and dragging my mouse over it, and every time I attempt to do so, the Times' pop up gets in the way. Very frustrating. I wish they could make this feature optional, or allow you to disable it.Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16294836039414057483noreply@blogger.com
