I find it wierd how CoinBase shows when its from coinbase users or not, how can there system tell this when address' come random from network?

I could be wrong but:
Your coinbase account is not an actual BTC wallet; you have many btc wallet addresses associated with your BTC account. When you send bitcoins, coinbase is actually sending them rom a seperate main coinbase wallet, where your bitcoins are kept. not you, like what would happen with a real wallet such as multibit. So when you tell coinbase to send bitcoins to an address that is also coinbase, it recognizes the address as belonging to coinbase and, voila. coinbase to coinbase transfer.
or something like that.
