adamengst writes: "In this TidBITS article, Matt Neuburg explores how Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard changes how the operating system handles preferred application binding, dropping support for the creator codes that have been part of the Mac OS from the early days. He also explains how to work around the problem, if you want, for instance, text documents created with BBEdit to open in BBEdit even when TextEdit is the default handler for text files."

Submission + - Quicken for Mac Lacks EV Cert Support (tidbits.com)
adamengst writes: "If your bank uses the Extended Validation certificates that require a higher level of identity checking on the certificate authority's part, you may not be able to download transactions using the Mac version of Quicken. As Glenn Fleishman writes in TidBITS, Quicken doesn't gracefully ignore extra information in EV certificates as older Web browsers do, but instead throws an error and refuses to download transactions. Intuit says they're working on a fix, but users may have to wait "a couple of months," and even then the fix may not be applied to versions before Quicken 2007."
