Do the quotes indicate that they think these are really not time savers?
It could also be referring to some of the comments that the tools are addictive.
I love ColourLovers because I'm not always the best at selecting a color palette. So Pictaculous looks pretty neat too. I thought it was only going to give me the top few color averages of the photo I submitted, but it appears to be giving me more than that. Nice.
I was bored/tinkering a while back and wrote a couple little generators for creating favicons and/or 16x16px PNG icons, and one for creating CSS sprites from multiple images. They're nowhere near as polished, but functional.

Another background pattern generator at http://www.patterncooler.com/
It has a built in pattern editor, I think it uses some svg madness. It's very impressive.

Shameless plug: http://www.neatgrid.com for creating pixel-perfect grid layouts.
These are pretty helpful, especially for those of us who aren’t designers or don’t have them at beck and call. Favicons are a good example, as well as the little progress spinners.

What about Twitter Bootstrap? That's pretty useful.
While on this topic, anyone have a tool like this for creating iOS buttons? I've found a few but they've not worked

These are great, but I'd like more things like Twitter bootstrap. Anyone know any?
zurb released a comparable and quite beautiful framework called 'foundation' http://foundation.zurb.com/
Not seen that one before, thanks!
I've also found skeleton: http://www.getskeleton.com/

I discovered ZURB's Foundation 1-2 months ago, and I absolutely fell in love with it. My only problem is I started developing a site with it, and before I knew it they had already shipped out a new version - they are apparently at a stage where their release cycle is pretty quick. I ended up deciding to take a day to convert the project over to the latest version of Foundation, 2.1.3 as of this writing.... here is their github repository: https://github.com/zurb/foundation - I love it.
These are actually pretty neat. Bookmarked.
I try so hard not to be bothered by his "pstck" slurping sound after every period of every sentence, but I can't quite do it. Pstck.
Was going to upvote, but I'm not going to. tslsck. The lip smacking seems to get into my subconscious and makes my skin crawl. pslk.

Huh?
The pslick sound, at the end of every sentence. If you are hard of hearing I can run it through a speech to text program and have it report that "pslick" is not a valid sentence.
It bugs the hell out of me and lots of people do it. Stop it. Its like farting on stage so the mic picks it up. The audience shouldent have to tell others that it is aggrevating.

I think you may be accidentally commenting on the wrong post. I don't see any video or audio on this post's link.
