[For Mac OS X 10.6] There is another very hidden way to increase your specific application zoom ratio in Mac. To make the overall Outlook application looks bigger, issue the following command in the Terminal app: defaults write com.microsoft.Outlook AppleDisplayScaleFactor 1.25. Then, restart Outlook.
Sorry Artaraxl, I couldn't find a way to turn this off on the iPad. For PhillyPhan, it looks like it's application specific on the Mac. TextEdit, Preferences New Document √ Data detectors Pages, Preferences Auto-Correction √ Automatically detect email and web addresses iChat, Edit (menu) Substitutions Data Detectors I couldn't find a global System Preference setting or one for Mail. Some web sites say you can disable Data Detectors in Mac OS X Mail in Terminal with defaults write com.apple.mail DisableDataDetectors YES but that seems to be for Mac OS X 10.5, it didn't seem to work for me with Mac OS X 10.6. Maybe someone else has other ideas?
For what it's worth, Apple's data detectors won't randomly highlight things it thinks you want links to - it only highlights information that you could create new contacts or calendar appointments from. For example: when someone emails you and within the body of the message they've included their contact info. Hovering over the information will reveal a highlight surrounding the info and a drop down with the option to add it to your address book - no typing!
It's particularly cool when someone in the body of an email message mentions something like 'Thursday' - data detectors intelligently understands that it means this week and will assist you in creating an iCal entry. It can conflict at times with your attempts to copy or highlight text, but I guess I've just gotten used to moving my insertion ibar a little further away.
FYI.We're talking about the iOS, not the desktop Mail. It's particularly cool when someone in the body of an email message mentions something like 'Thursday' - data detectors intelligently understands that it means this week and will assist you in creating an iCal entry. I appreciate your opinion, but I just don't find that cool at all. On the contrary, it's annoying! E.g.: I'm terribly ill, and on Thursday will stay home from work. This prompts an iCal entry for Thursday? It either has to be much smarter, or it's just a nuisance.

The main issue is it should obviously be a user preference. Most features like that are optional, not required. Can you think of any reason not to have Mail Preference 'Use smart links: Yes/No'? Many months have passed since this thread was live. The auto detect / create link in the iPad is still baking my noodle.
A google search from the iPad about this issue seems almost to be censored in that there is a shortage of advice on how to switch this facility off. With the explosion in iPad sales I am wondering if any of you have yet found a solution to this?
What is very irksome is that when you open notes in Evernote, on the iPad, it turns all these suggestive phrases to links. This then gets saved in Evernote. When you go back to your laptop and open the same note in Evernote using the laptop app, lo and behold, your text is lit up like a Christmas tree. Any advice welcomed. Apple Footer.
