What to pack for a day hike

Backpacker Magazine has this helpful video on packing for a day hike.
It seems like overkill (but I know the definitions of "day" and "hike" vary). If I'm out alone, it's seldom more than two hours, maybe more with someone else. If I am out alone, I go to well-populated areas. I always take a jacket/windbreaker, cell phone, plenty of water and a light snack. The cell is only for emergencies; it's not like I use it to gab in the woods. ("Can you believe what Lerleane did to Earl?")
What are your preferences? For the day pack, that is.
