This isn't really a tip, more of an easter egg. View the Help Viewer's package contents; find Help Viewer in /System -> Library -> CoreServices and then control-click on it. In the next window that opens, go to Contents -> Resources -> English.lproj -> Preferences.nib and open that file in Interface Builder. The prefs window entire contents is a message that reads "There ain't no stinking preferences yet! Doh."

Many other Apple apps have silly messages in their nib files. Explore! You'll need the Developer Tools installed to browse the nib files, of course.
