The default behavior for the tab key on your keyboard in OS X when a dialog box appears is do… NOTHING. This is one of the strangest behaviors to adapt to (coming from a Windows world. A good post on how to modify your settings so the tab key works in a sane manner can be found here.
Another Leopard bug

I bought myself a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse over the holdidays and I have to say that I really like it. It does have some interesting quirks. For instance, to right-click, I have to make sure my index finger is not touching the mouse. But that’s for another post, on to the bug.
I was FTP’ing files between my Media Center PC and the MacBook Pro, and all of a sudden my mouse gets choppy (skipping 20 pixels at a time). This started immediately after I started my FTP transfer, and only affected my Mighty Mouse (the trackpad continued to operate normally). So it would appear that a full on network connection (at least a wirelss one, as I did not have an opportunity to test a wired one) leads to a choppy mouse. Something to keep in mind next time you sit down to move some files around.
