Since I stumbled onto this a couple of months ago, it's become
indispensable! Highlight some text, right-click and a little b/w
bull's eye appears. Mouse onto the bull's eye and a pop-up menu
appears which lets you perform a multitude of tasks, like Googling
it, searching Wikipedia, translating to a different language, etc.

Apparently, it's based upon the ideas of Douglas Engelbart back in
the 1960s.
