As an engineering student in college, failing to comment in my code is equivalent to failing at life. Our profs say it's common courtesy to comment code, especially in industry. As one who has had to read the code of others, I can say it does help at times. So keep commenting, if only for the stupid people.
One must wonder, though, who is really manipulating who? Is it the media pulling the strings attached to businesses and consumers for their own ends? Or perhaps it is the businesses taking advantage of the media and using it to get consumers to spend more? Then again, it could be that consumers are manipulating everyone to get what they want at a price that is Cheap Bastard compliant. Do we bring this hype on ourselves, and what does it have to do with Microsoft's plot to rule the world? The world may never know.
