I'm trying to alter my site in such a way so that when people view it, they don't know it's powered by Drupal. So, was wondering if there are any signs that give this away that I should know about?
Some of the giveaways I know of, are:
etc
I'm looking for similar stuff?

Let's look at a fairly customized page based on Drupal: http://gemini-lights.com/ (a random page from the Drupal sites repository). There are many giveaways:
body) that do not change appearance - Drupal uses them to provide some info about the state of the page (like <body class="front not-logged-in page-front-page two-sidebars">)My advice is: don't try too hard with hiding the CMS of your website, if a hacker wants to find out what CMS you are running, he/she will find out. I'd focus on keeping the CMS up-to-date (Drupal makes this easy) and also watching out which modules you are installing - they are the most likely attack vectors.
Since this question is still getting many hits, let me update it with an example of a website of a major company (one of the biggest telephone companies in Poland), that, to my (pleasant) surprise ,is using Drupal for its main site, http://dialog.pl/:
/sites/all/themes/zen-dialog-main-page/../zen/css/page-strona_glowna.php or CSS styles applied: <body class="front not-logged-in node-type-page two-sidebars">
As you can see, it's still possible to tell that the website is using Drupal - and this is a website of a major corporation. So the above advice still holds: don't waste your resources on trying to hide the CMS you used, keep it up to date (that's why the update.php file is probably still in place), monitor security vulnerabilities, use strong passwords, etc.
