My luck quickly changed: my friend Ben was just beginning to work on an app called TestFlight, which sought to make possible the impossible: you could update ad hoc app builds over the air, with one tap. Let me clarify this immediately: TestFlight does not require a jailbroken device, shady private-API voodoo, or even an installed app. Standing in a crowded bar in SoMa, I just tapped a button and saw the app begin to download and install. Holy crap!

The other day, I wanted to find out the web safe color of a particular item on the screen of my Mac for a web design project I was working on. My first step was to go searching the Internet for such a tool (preferably free). Then, in the midst of said search, I was reminded that this little tool was not only already on my Mac, did exactly what I wanted, but also did it better than any of the tools I was able to find.

To take your Digital Color Metering to the next level, you can drag the color off of the well on the right (next to the R G B labels) into any standard color picker to bring it over. Sometimes, you can even drop it straight into an object in another app!

Give it a try: sample a color, press cmd-shift-h to hold it, then drag and drop from the swatch an object in Pages or Keynote.

Edited: The shortcut to hold is command-shift-h, not command-h. Oops.
