Re: extracting contents of zipped files on the mac
One example of zips that the standard archive utility won't open by default are epub books where you can rename to .zip and then open up for internal tweaks. I run into this all the time with the Linux Journal magazines so I use Unarchiver to deal with them. Not sure why this is the case but I'm glad to have a way around this.
