I was just testing a DHTML app in IE8, and noticed a weird icon that
appears  in the page when you select a block of text.
It is apparently a 'helpful' new feature of IE8, which is that they have a
list of 'accelerators' which are available
when you select text, such as "email this", or "search on Microsoft's search
engine", you get the idea.

The big question is whether there is any way to disable this from the app.
Hopefully there will be enough
disgust from the browser user community that this will be disabled by
default. .They never learn ...
