Finder doesn't know how to calculate filesizes?

[LordMelkor]

I came across something unusual today... I did "Get Info" on a particular file, and found that finder reports:

Size: 113.3 MB on disk (113,292,938 bytes)

but that's not right is it? I was under the impression that 1024 bytes = 1 KB, and 1024 KB = 1 MB, so 1048576 bytes = 1 MB (google confirms this)

Has anyone encountered this? And is this just a blooper by Mac? I'm running Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6)

SL calculates it to be more human readable. It was one of the new features. (Article)

oh ok, that had me confused for a bit.
