I can zoom the screen... but not sure I would want to zoom just one 
widget. But, nope, I cannot think of a way to do that.

Saves screen real estate, but if I wanted I could use another browser 
that had one. I am not locked into Safari. I also have from Safari the 
option to open the page in another browser. This comes in handy when I 
run out of "views" on some news sites (could also just block cookies I 
suppose).

Well, I do not have 20 but I do have quite a few, as I have shown you. :)

Seriously, if you want to see how I do searching I can show you that.

> WikiQuotes, Dictionary.COM, YouTube, Images, MicroSoft, WikiPedia, etc. ? !

I have a "Look Up Service" that gives me much of that and more, 
including maps and music and videos (mostly YouTube but it will also 
look at others) -- and all context sensitive (only showing maps when I 
select an address or famous landmark or the like).

I have other services to specifically go to Google, Urban Dictionary, 
Thesaurus.com, OneLook.com, Google Translate, Google Define, 
Dictionary.com, Usenet Message by ID, etc.

I can make a video to show you at some point. Right now running back and 
forth from here, to making a flan-like dessert, to working on a home 
project (making shelves and the like for above the bed I think I 
mentioned before).
