About this siteFor six years, the Internet Nexus served as my technology blog, but I've since started blogging at the SuperSite Blog instead. If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul Friday, September 22, 2006How Random Is the iPod's Shuffle?I love that this is still an issue. The WSJ digs up something that was a hot topic about a year ago:Mads Haahr -- a random-number enthusiast, lecturer in computer science at Trinity College in Dublin and keeper of the Web site Random.org, a popular source of random numbers -- intends to answer a question that has long bedeviled users of Apple's popular music player: Does the shuffle function really play users' songs in random order?Oddly enough, it's a good read. And for the record, the iPod shuffle was never truly random. :) [ Posted at 10:21 AM | Permalink ]
