The Mac OSX Colour picker is simple and beautifully integrated across Mac applications. Hex color opens the colour picker as a stand alone application so you can save colours without having to open an iLife or iWork application first.

We all love time machine and for most people having no control of their backups is a blessing in disguise. I suppose that the point of time machine is that we don’t have to think about backing up.
