New Documents in Snow Leopard's TextEdit

In the Snow Leopard version of TextEdit, you can now create a new document by Control-clicking TextEdit's Dock icon (when it's running), and choosing New Document from the pop-up menu. This isn't a major feature, of course, since you can also just press Command-N while in TextEdit, but consider Control-clicking other applications' Dock icons to see what functions they might make available.

TidBITS Predelivery Service

TidBITS Predelivery Service -- Why are you receiving TidBITS today? Well, we know that our readers want the most timely Macintosh information, and now we've come up with the best method to deliver it to you. Starting with this issue, you'll receive TidBITS in its entirety a day before we're finished writing and editing it. We can't explain all the technology to you - it's a mixture of Web Crossing, FileMaker Pro, and a dash of HyperCard, all running on a Mac SE/30 with a blown analog board (and no security problems, thanks to System 7!) that we control via Timbuktu Pro - but we have to launch our patent lawsuits against Research in Motion, Microsoft, and the people who wrote "Back to the Future" before we can go into details. No matter what, rest assured that you'll get the same high quality content before we're even done with it. [ACE]
