I think that BOTH the comments and the code need to be readable. I've seen code with lots of great descriptive comments, but when you look at the actual code you can't tell if it does what the comments say it's supposed to do. The same holds true for the reverse. I've see code that's well structed, readable, descriptive variable names, etc. But without some comments about how all the pieces fit together the code can still be confusing.
I have an older Handspring Visor and without a doubt the most important thing it does is run PocketMoney.
I don't know how I'd get by without it. Seriously. It's a simple way to manage your money and it exports to Quicken or MS Money. Every day or three I pull a wad of receipts out of my wallet and enter them into PocketMoney and I'm good to go. I know exactly how much money I have. You can even plan ahead by entering in future bills and stuff. I can't say enough good things about this app. I love it. They also make a Pocket PC version. For me this would be a must have app.
*diclaimer* I am in no way affiliated with Catamount software, the makers of PocketMoney.
Satellite radio is more than just the commercial free music though. The fact the I can get live news and sports coverage was one of the main reasons I signed up for satellite radio. Without those I probably would not have.
Another item on the Starbucks menu. Go ahead and clone cats and make mutant vegtables, but leave my coffee alone!
I think Hobbes said it best when he said
"Scientific progress goes Boink?"
