vs Mac OS X's Dictionary
Quote: "Unlike Apple Computer's Dictionary, it retrieves definitions from the internet via the DICT protocol instead of a file on the hard drive."
This is incorrect. While it does default to using a file on the hard drive, Apple's Dictionary also handles the dict protocol, when a dict:// URL is clicked. It does not offer any server settings UI, and the user must click a dict URL in order to re-route the program to using an online dictionary, but it does support online use.
