    Many people have been lamenting the fact that there is no full fledged dictionary available for their iPods, but now they can rejoice. Merriam Webster, working with iPREPpress, has just released an iPod ready version of their dictionary. It'll set you back $9.95 (which is a special introductory price) and it only works with 3rd generation iPods or later.Thanks, Dhiram Shah.

    I found the following reproducible bug today in Tiger. Does anyone know where you can find a database of known bugs? Following the pic, you'll find the bug report I just submitted to Apple. Summary: While in Safari, I noticed a word that I didn't recognize: nee. So I did what I always do in Tiger, I moused over it and hit COMMAND + CTRL + D to bring up the Dictionary pop-up with the definition. The pop-up appeared reading "No entries found." However, when I commented to a friend in iChat, she said that the definition turned up right away for her. She had used the contextual menu to look up the word, however, so I launched the standalone Dictionary and looked up nee and indeed, 42 results popped up with the top one being nee. Read the rest after the jump...
