Mac OSX feature that nobody knows about
The recent episode of MacBreak video podcast from the Twit network has Kenji Kato together with Leo Laporte, showing you a hidden feature in Mac OSX that most of us doesn’t even know it exist, ‘Summarize’.
This tip is so cool, I just have to share it here on myMacBUZZ. If you haven’t watch MacBreak, go ahead and download it and subscribe to the feed.
The ‘Summarize’ feature sits in your service menu, click the image for a larger view. The feature, as the name suggest, summarize long texts for you. So if you have a long article opened on your Safari, select the text, go to the service menu, choose summarize. A little window will pop-up with a summarized version of the selected text. You then can adjust ‘how much’ you want it to summarized for you.
The feature is not really dead accurate but almost, as it tries to find which part of the article is important and what is not. Cool stuff.

Now that’s a nice featurette. I recall the services menu was originally on NeXTStep. How useful it was..
