Go to Terminal.app and (using your mouse) select some text, such as your prompt. Now paste.
Repeat the same experiment with iTerm 2 (although you may need some custom setting for this one). There are different results: iTerm 2 will copy the text that you selected, while Terminal.app will not. The idea is that the only time you select text in the terminal (with your mouse) is to copy it. It's very nice IMO
