Notes

"Perhaps you have wondered how predictable machines like computers can generate randomness. In reality, most random numbers used in computer programs are pseudo-random, which means they are a generated in a predictable fashion using a mathematical formula. This is fine for many purposes, but it may not be random in the way you expect if you're used to dice rolls and lottery drawings."

Notes

"you can't easily pay for enough music to fill a 30 gig iPod much less a 60 gig iPod. So somethings gotta go there and itll likely be Podcasts."
