  1. Press the command key ⌘ .
  2. Drag the item away from the toolbar.

This behavior is generic for other OS X Apps. (Finder, Safari, Pages,...)

@raychenon Apple refers to them simply as 'items': see this picture – gentmatt Dec 11 '12 at 15:38

Secondary-click them (two-finger tap if you've got it configured, otherwise control+click), then select "Remove item".

Right click on the toolbar, select "Customize Toolbar...", then drag them out.
