Random thought

People complained that the iPod shuffle feature was not really random because it would some times play two songs in the same album next to each other [it's a wonder that they never thought that it was god, performing the little miracle every once in a while].

As a result, the creative minds at Apple had to add a "Smart Shuffle" feature to iTunes 5 which reduces randomness decreasing the likelihood of two songs in the same album being played in sequence [and in the sixth day, Steve Jobs made iTunes in our image and likeness].

People are now happier thinking their shuffle is now truly random [just imagine the shock of listening to, say, a-Ha's "The Sun Always Shines on TV" right after "Take On Me"--now *that* has to be work of the devil!].

The human species doesn't understand anything yet [talk about intelligent design!]
