Here is what I found while checking my Google Webmaster Tools account for this website:

Duplicate Title Tags

wphacks-title-tags

Duplicate Descriptions

wphacks-descriptions

Is this a huge deal?  Probably not, but you may want to consider unchecking this box in your Dashboard > Settings > Discussion tab.   Hopefully in a future version of WordPress this will NOT be checked by default and instead be an option.
